Markism 

A seemingly far-fetched scenario in which there are no rational choices to resolve it and no rational explanation for how it came into being in the first place.

I either have to move across the country in two weeks, or be unemployed for a year.

The professor never taught from the book, then his midterm was on nothing but the book, so 95% of the class failed.

Markism 

The greatest religion on Earth. You seem surprised, but how can the only religion where the God actually existed be judged as being bad? Whatsmore, the God and Devil are good friends, and go drinking together frequently. Only in a World this shitty can the most evil and most good benevolent beings be bosom pals. In fact, I am informed they are more than just good friends.... Sign up today!

Markism: God and the Devil looked into each others eyes. They could both tell the other wanted them, but both were to afraid to make the first move. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, the Devil leaned in....
Moral: Homosexuality and religion can successfully coexist.
