SCP-001 - Church of the Broken God EXPLAINED 

I like how the author specifically said anthracite coal is what they use as fuel in their manufacturing process, extracted under saintly supervision. That just happens to be the highest quality, hardest, most metallic, shiniest most energy efficient coal with the least impurities. It is so low in organic compounds that almost no plant carbon remains and it is considered metamorphic submetallic rock,unlike other coals made of organic sediment like lignite or bitumen which comes from crude fossil fuels like petroleum. So literally even the fuel they use was transformed from organic to inorganic. That is meticulously good attention to detail to casually mention anthracite. That’s some serious next-level lore geekery.

i can already tell the the Church of the Broken God and Adpetus Mechanicus would get along just well

I need a complete history video of Sarkasism, The Church of the Broken God, and the Serpent's Hand. There are so many great connections.

The broken God sounds a little bit like Amalgamus Prime. The first Cybertronian with the ability to Transform and from whom all other Cybertronians would gain the same power.

For me Mekhane is the good guy in this story. He set the roots for the humans to evolve from animals to the dominant species on the planet and sacrificed himself to contain Yaldabaoth and save Humanity. Maybe his parts can be dangerous for Humans but this doesn´t mean that he is when he is whole again.

The Church, even if it is fractured, is united in desire to connect and rebuild their lost divine. It makes it difficult to decide if I want to pursue biomechanical reingineering with the cogwork, or use digital coding to help spread the influence faster. I always admired the church for what it initially set out to be, and still finding reason to continue...especially with possible pieces of their god still out there. Wherever they may be. Long Live the Robot God!

*"There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal."* *"There is no strength in flesh, only weakness."* *"There is no constancy in flesh, only decay."* *"There is no certainty in flesh but death."*

The final part is what im expecting from the storyline of all the apocalypses happening at once, that every group of interest join in a forced alliance to deal with it because neither want the world to end if not by their own hand, just like in the SCP 5000 timeline, a lot of groups tried to fight against the Foundation but ultimately fail due to trying separately.

I swear the story of "The Church of The Broken God" should be it's own Netflix series.

Even with this seemingly contradicting the spiral path, I still think it is possible to make a timeline using all 001s.

I love how detailed the Church of the Broken God is. If you didn't know it was from the SCP universe, it could almost sound real.

I've always loved the Broken Church, not only because of the deep lore but also they are, at least to me, one of the most reasonable GOI's (potential radical religiousness aside) disposed to work shoulder to shoulder with the likes of the Foundation for the greater good

Imagine Church of Broken God vs Adeptus Mecanicus

these guys are the equivalent to the tech priest's in the 40k universe

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal.

Imagine an SCP game where you play as a member of the Church of the Broken God.

I like to think of the GOI's in the alignment chart. The foundation is either true neutral or neutral good, serpent's hand is chaotic good, church of the broken god is chaotic neutral, the GOC is lawful evil, so on and so forth.

This makes me wonder how the followers of Mekhane and the SCP Foundation would react to transformers. Specifically, the Aligned Continuity where Primus was the incarnation of creation who sacrificed himself and become Cyberton's core to defeat Unicron (The incarnation of destruction) and cast him out only for him to become the Earth's core.

After both the 5001 speaking thing and Alexei being accepted into the church, I’m kinda on the Mekhane worshipers side ngl- But I agree with the first worshippers who knew that rebuilding Mekhane would lead to the release of the other creator, which would most likely lead to an XK class scenario.

"Saint Scranton" Owl eared viewers might recognize that name as having ties to the foundation. It is unknown if Saint Scranton, Dr Scranton, or even Dr Robert Scranton specifically of scp 3001 (Red Reality) are separate characters under a family name, or all one and the same, but if they are all the one man, then it's nice to know that the church and the foundation are able to respect eachother. After all, Mekhane is a self-appointed patron deity of the foundation.

I have a theory for the SCP-001s. They're each an SCP-001, HOWEVER they're from parallel or different universes.

So what *is* scp 001 exactly? Scp foundation: *YES*

A friend and I actually made this sort of fourth faction of The Church of the Broken God called The Caro Metallums. The Caro Metallum’s differ greatly from the COTBG’s other factions in the sense that the majority of there values and practices don’t align with the other factions with there primary mission being to use their tech help others in the name of Mekhane as the broken god did for humanity once long ago. They’re most tolerant faction as opposed to their other factions who believe flesh is inferior to machines they don’t fully follow that belief. They’re also not as cultish as the other factions and normally don’t force their followers to engage in certain activities if they wish not to do so. They follow Mekhane for their selflessness and follow their example to help others like they did. Much like the Xia Dynasty they do not think Mekhane’s body should be put back together as to could undermine Mekhane’s sacrifice and release an unstable Yaldabaoth once again. Take note of the word unstable as opposed to their counterparts, The Caro Metallum’s casts Yaldabaoth in a more positive light. In these stories Mekhane and Yaldabaoth shared a strong bond and built the world together. However at some point Yaldabaoth was struck with a sickness of mind and to protect the world from their sickly sibling with a heavy heart Mekhane made an ultimate sacrifice to imprisoned their best friend. Like the Maxwellists this faction is relatively young and embrace individually innovative ideas. But like the Clockworks they do have a system of ranks and titles within their practice including but not limited to Gearmasters, Machinists, Engineers, etc. As much as there criticized by the other factions they do still collaborate with them especially when humanitarian aide is needed. Speaking of which as fellow humanitarians The Caro Metallum’s often provides services to the Mana Charitable Foundation. That being said though one should not take there compassion for a weakness as cross them and they’ll unleash the wrath of Mekhane. As there ranks include warriors who protect those who need it. Overall The Caro Metallum’s are the humanitarians of the COTBG. What do y’all think?

Editing my comment so the replays don't make sense... Great Video again guys! Love the animation style❤️

Foundation Researcher: Today we will explain 001. Me: Which one? Foundation Researcher: *YES* Day 244 of asking the O5 Council to use SCP-1968 to create a universe in which 682 doesn't exist.

Honestly, I want to watch the broken church to rebuild Mekhane and release Yaldabaoth just in time to make them fight the scarlet king.

If I existed in this universe I would definitely be a follower of Mekhane.

you guys make the scp foundation look so colorful and jolly

I've always had a tiny theory that if they ever managed to wake Mekhane up, they would just stare at all of them and ask why they turned themselves into robots. "I specifically didn't want robots, that was your whole point! To combine our gifts and create something more! Why would I not just make you mechanical if I wanted you mechanical??? Why do you think I even worked with Yaldaboth??????" I also have another minor theory that I just came up with during this video. What if Mekhane and Yaldaboth worked together while creating humanity, specifically as a possible answer to the ScarletKing? Like, Yaldaboth's gifts of flesh, adaptability, and growth, mixed with Mekhane's gifts of logic, thought, and invention. It seems like a decent combination to find an answer to a threat the god's couldn't fight against; create something brand new that can think in entirely new ways than either could form. Also... with this in mind, what if Yaldaboth and Mekhane weren't actually at war? What if it was a decision they made together, to forsake their influence over them beyond what we see, because if their is one thing that spurs on design and weaponry, it's war; so they devised the story as a way to get smaller wars within humanity, which created anomalous weapons like the living siege weapons, SCP-610, the upgrades by the Mekhanites, all of them. All created for a single purpose if giving a single chance to stop an evil far greater than either god could deal with. Probably very stupid theories, but they're at least interesting... at least to me.

"From the Moment i understood the weakness of my flesh... It disgusted me..."

I love how thorough this is. Scp lore is great but it can also be hard to follow. Not only is this broken down and easy to digest, but you cover lots of details and make it fun to watch and listen to. Brilliant stuff! I would love to see other groups of interest covered like this if possible!

5:42 The Imperium ain't gonna be too happy with the mechanicus heretics abandoning their Emperor's light for the false god of machines.

And in a few thousand years, they'll take over Mars. And they'll worship the Omnissiah too.

Love The Chruch Of The Broken God. It is very interesting lore. Also go read SCP_001 Amoni-Ra. now that is a great read.

I like how you used Warhammer 40k aesthetics on the Cogwork Orthodoxy

I'd jump onto the broken god church in a moment if I could. I'm severely disabled, so it would be something that instantly pays off, too!

If I could be in any group of interest other than the SCP Foundation, I would be a member of the Church. Mainly because it just seems like a noble cause

I like how they hint at a war with the scarlet king in various videos.

Whoever wrote this into the scp wiki was definitely a fan of the adeptus mechanicus from warhammer 40k

Church of the broken God always feels very 40k to me. Like if I found out they had a base on Mars and have adult fun time with toasters I would not be surprised.

The moment I realized the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me

From the moment I realized the weakness of the flesh it disgusted me.

So legit question since I'm not very versed in either universe, how closely related or intertwined are the W40K and SCP universes? Because this video sounds just like a faction I've heard of in W40K

slight bit of information missing the 10 golden crows were created by the god of the sun(idk how that happened), and the Xia dynasty used their 10 Xuan Yuan swords that had antimemetic powers to try to erase the crows. However the swords lost control and also erased most of the Xia dynasty itself. when people from the next dynasty, Shang, arrived, they had no idea that Xia existed.

I would like a video soon dedicated to Gran Karcist Ion and his Klavigar.

I hear the omnissiah calling out names to praise the machines and the skitarii loading their guns.

Those gosh darn tickers always trying to replace my arm with robotics

Woah... Another SCP-001 proposal... I guess we're still on top of the iceberg..

I really love the implications that one day These long standing enemies will have to unite in order to defeat the scarlet king

Next list though, you should study the Sarkites and their ranking system; Ozi̮rmok Klavigar Karcists Zend Orin.

20:57 i love the ending here

Crazy how the church of the broken god and the sarkists basically want the same thing just two different ends of the spectrum

Just recently got into SCP , and now im wondering , if a Necron (who can speak) from 40K had a conversation with one of these people , what would it be like ? xD

So many mentions of the Scarlet King as an incoming threat,but is there even a story where he actually shows up for the fight? It seems like the Foundation keeps trying to prepare for a danger that just never comes!

Iove the longer feel to this video!! More please! Possibly a dive into the history of sarkicism?

Im a bit confused as to how this story relates to the whole Amani-Ra tale and Robert Bumaro beign originally an SCP Foundation researcher

"Cogwork orthodoxy is like Catholicism to protestantism" Eastern Orthodox Church: Am I a joke to you?

"Flesh magic" Did only i imagine here someone throwing severed chicken leg at hypersonic speeds?

0:48 wow did you see that robed guys struggling face? Great artwork

Interestingly, there is an SCP that while not directly stated, it's heavily implied to be Mekhane containing the other god. The Church of the Broken God are really similar to the Adeptus Mechanicus from Warhammer 40k.

I like how scp-001 is kinda just like a foundation myth

You guys just wanted to use 40k looking stuff 🤣🤣🤣 Jk awesome video, love your stuff. Never stop!!!!

Been wanting to see a deep dive on the sarcists for some time. This video gives me hope it will happen

The yellow emperor is probably Emperor Yu di who was called the engineer

Huh. Nice 40k Referenz. The adeptus mechanicus is really fitting for them.

Damn so this is where the toaster lovin Mechanicum truly got it's start

6:56 is there any relation between Saint Scranton and Dr Scranton? Edit: St Scranton takes care of reality… Scranton reality anchors..?

Don't know if i'm mentioned it in the comments before but I had an idea for a 001 proposal that had to do with the broken god. Basically it came from the someone saying that the broken god when completed would destroy all other gods and remake the universe, but the scarlet king is far more powerful then the broken god supposedly, so my proposal was a solution to that. I call it: SCP - 001: The True Unbroken God The idea is that in every reality and timeline there is an instance of the broken god, when that instance of itself is rebuilt it then reaches across the borders of it's reality/timeline and into another where another instance of itself has been rebuilt, these two instances then combine together and fold their realities/timelines into each other, destroying them and preserving what they want to keep, it will continue to do this until only one reality remains and a single instances of itself is left, that is the combination of all other versions of itself, becoming truly complete. Once it has done this it will then remake that reality the way it sees fit.

The thumbnail looks awesome

Ah yes adeptus mechanicus lore

I wonder if there is any connection between the saint named Scranton worshiped in the clockwork orthodox church and the Dr. Scranton of the SCP foundation.

but what if the mother dragon as the chinese called it, is the scarlet king, but the foundation and anyone else who is involved with it classified the revenge seeking god of the flesh as something different, the scarlet king, as both groups that pray to him are telling the story in a different way, what leads to the daevites and the sarcists eventhough both praise the same deity to be on different sides in the end and effectively praise something totally different

When Day Breaks happens, these guys will be like, “told you so.”

They would have a great friendship with the Adeptus Mechanicus from Warhammer 40k

Come on scp explained, keep making the 914 test videos or I shall start asking again

Basically its Tech priests vs nurgle chaos worshippers

Anyone wonder what would the Mechanites and the Sarkics think of the warframes in the Warframe universe. As they are part flesh, part machine.

Every day when I wake up the first video I watch is always yours, I love your content man, keep up the great work!

There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal. There is no strength in flesh, only weakness. There is no constancy in flesh, only decay. Join the adeptus mechanicus!

How many scp 001 are there? And why would multiple scp's be asigned to the same number?

The name of the city was called Amone-Rom. I might've butchered the spelling, but the pronunciation sounds right.

Some people see red robe be like “iS tHaT TeCh-PrIeSt?

How much do we know about anything. Spread both love and information.

so basicly adeptus mechanicus but no machine spirits

Reminds me of the Cult Mechanicus in Warhammer 40k.

As someone who is not really religious but lowkey obsessed with learning about everything other regions do and follow and how they worship their own god(s), like Norse and Greek mythology and such. I am absolutely fascinated by this and honestly love the whole idea and everything of all the mekhane such, it is just so incredibly interesting to me.

4:38-Really? The worshippers of the god of technology are against modern technology?🤨

You'd think he's an scp... trying to explain scps...

The biggest problem with the Cult Mechanicus, I mean: Church of the Broken God, is they could potentially undo Mekhane's work/sacrifice. Mekhane's components are what keep Yaldabaoth imprisoned.... But if Mekhane's components are collected and reassembled, what happens to the cage....? Not that the Foundation really cares either way. The 05s' general plan seems to be to sit on everything and hope for the best; failing that, hope any one of their various reset buttons work.

Perfect Timing I just watched The other Faction Videos just a Hour Ago

I see doctor doom with an infinity gauntlet on the thumbnail 👀

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me...

the church of the broken god is just like the adeptus mechanicus/cult mechanicus

They are Just a SCP Version of the Mechanicum. I dont mean it bad but its interesting that the fandom made a better fraction then GW

i cant believe this actually happened. thanks for the informative video

Tech priest: By the Omnisia its my brother's!!!!.

Love hearing about the broken god, someday, they will make up their mind if he's a good guy or not.

I could sit and watch this stuff all day,

0:57 Looks like we found 2 traitors...

I think this is the start of the Adeptus Mechanicus. - Dr. Bright
