some sort of....new religious movement? I'm wondering hmmmmm is there any way that new religious movements can go wrong or cause harm? naaaahhhhhh.
#I'm not saying it's a cult#but i am saying it would be very easy to take the bit too far once you've got attached to the idea of creating an actual church#like when I saw this before i was very like ok this is doing a kind of Flying Spaghetti Monster with a social conscience#it's giving the John Oliver Our Lady Of Perpetual Exemption#a bit 2000s nu athiesm a bit cringe but ok#but like. idk when you start talking about in-person services and internally coordinating programmes#it gets dicier imo. it does look like you ACTUALLY want to set up a new religious movement. centred around your personality and tiktok.#and that might start out as a joke but ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh vectors of community control#also as i said last time: this isn't needed to make the argument that there are people witha religious obligation to lgbtq lives#bc there already are and those making the Religious Freedom arguments Do Not Care#and it's also like. ok what are the core tenets of your faith beyond individual freedom to expression?#bc you haven't really laid out a core belief SYSTEM you've laid out. a core belief.#but the thing about like giving people vague and easy to agree with belief statements as an intro#is they're hard to disagree with and then you join the community and have reasons to believe other things Community Leaders have to say#also also. this is so Christian-as-default tbh like we understand that it's cultural Christianity coming through#when we're taking about churches and weekly sermons and church programmes and so on right?#red said
