The 'About' section of the site, explains the main tenet of the religion: 'We are an anonymous group who believes that the one who calls himself Yeezus is a divine being who has been sent by God to usher in a New Age of humanity.'

It goes on to state that all members are to remain anonymous until 'conditions are ripe,' at which time  'all of our members will reveal their identities and their divine forms and the Creative Age will finally begin!'

'I created this thing about a month ago - and all I did was tweet it, and I don't have a lot of Twitter followers, so that didn't go anywhere,' he told the site.
'I was putting up other Craigslist ads and I just thought, "Well, let's see where this goes." I got some responses. I mean, you found it, so that's pretty awesome.'
The 'Our Savior' page of the site has a drawing resembling Kanye, who jetted from Los Angeles to Paris on Thursday for Fashion Week.
