So, everyone here loves Helena, but I hate it when people go, "zomg, she's so pretty and perfect!". And this whole religion thing, I don't get it

I mean, yes, she's beautiful (you'd have to be blind of dead not to notice it) but she is sooo much meer than that. I first see her as an actress, not just a pretty face. I mean, seriously, she's been acting since she was thirteen, and she had to work bloody hard to get to where she is now.

But the one thing that really gets me about *some* of her fans is that they say she is perfect. I hate to break it to them, but she's not. Nobody is perfect. But in my opinion, that makes her even meer adorable.

The sleep talking thing is just so unbelivably cute (see her Jonathon Ross interview if u don't know what I'm talking about) and yes, it's a flaw. I love her flaws, and when people say she's perfect, it winds me up, because you've got the actresses that seem perfect, and they are just so incredibly boring as people that they just aren't likeable.

As for Helena's dress sense, sometimes she does wear things that maybe aren't the best, but to be honest, I respect her even meer for that, because it takes real guts and self acceptance to not care what people think, and as she's in the spotlight A LOT, there are loads who think about her.

I love the fact that she picks roles that are different. I mean, who else could have pulled off Bellatrix Lestrange? I can't think of anyone else, and her portrayal was so good, that when I read Harry Potter, I always picture her as Bellatrix. That's just one of her tiny roles, as well!

So, OK, this probably seems really spammy so far, but now I'll get to Helenaism. Is it a joke? Because I adore Helena, but I seriously, seriously, cannot even comprehend for one minuut thinking of her as a God.

So, please, please tell me that this is a joke.

claire-aka-bob hahaa i think its awsome probably a joke but still awsome i respect her as an actress more after Sweeney Todd to honest, i just think she played Mrs.Lovett perfectly! and i like her dress sense and would love to dress like that but the fact is at the moment i am not in a place where i cant not care what people think (high school pfft) but hey what can you do anyway, i would love to join the religion but i am already a Dazlist :p ♥

siri_soul hahaaha yes, youre right. people sometimes are too superficial . I love her dress, I like everyone who dress strangely =D

Rainbeau Lolabella, I totally agree with you, couldn't have said it any better!

slytherin360 it is a joke XD a group of people on helena-world put it together as a laugh

slytherin360 http://religion.wikia.com/wiki/Helenaism seriously, its hard to read through without laughing :D!

Rainbeau Yeah, maybe it is a joke, but that doesn't take away there are people who totally talk like that, check a random fansite and there are *coughcoughloserscoughcough* who can't say something else than "Oooooooooooooowh Myyyyyyyyy Goooooooooooood she is so hot/pretty/sexy/cute" Yes she is. I can see that too, but that shouldn't be everything there is to say. And those are the same people who consider everything she does as great only because it is Helena doing/saying so. And "I totally LOVE her" Come on! Be honest, you can respect her, like her (as far as you're able to know), maybe think she's loveable, but be honest with yourself. Most of them never met her (I didn't either) so to state you "totally love her completely" is a little prejudiced. I guess she'll being annoying at times as well. Nothing wrong with that :)

XxHelenaxX I'm a helenaist :P

helena-gal so am I helena is a very beautiful godess who I'm about 2 go and worship. LOL

lovettstar i agree, in fact its the fact helena is not perfect that got me 2 like her. u c all these pretty stars who starv them selves n get plastic surgery, wearing the lateset things n have the most boring interviews. i mean, wat star would say they talk in there sleep or there husbend keeps a collecion of false teeth in the bathroom on public tv? n with her fashion, she wears wats comfy n her, not giving a dam wat peep say bout her. but i guess i wouldn't worship her or like her so much to become jewish. n if we all thought that she was a god helena would never get any privecy. anywayyy.... helena is cool.

lovettstar OMG i just read the heleanaist lol how randoom, funny and so true. i admitt i do do sum of those thigns, aka i once did chant i killed sirius black and sing sweeney todd frequently. i am obsessed with bovine n once picked up a twig n said crucio. lol. i am a heleanist.

dustfingerlover Wow. Ok. Well I started to read the wiki-answer on this helenaist thing but had to stop. I mean, sure Helena is a great actress, but she is not a goddess. I find it quite blasphemous to my religion, Christianity. I mean, calling her a Christ on earth? And referring to her as "Lord"? There is only one Christ, and one Lord, and one God. In short: Helenaist; what a crazy, crazy, blasphemous thing, created by obviously someone with a screw loose.

Perfidia Helenaism???? Oh come on....what is that supposed to be? You can be a fan of her work but you don't need to turn that into your "religion" I only worship God!
