Heh heh, try to put down those that oppose you in belief? Why don't you just let people like whatever they like? Appropriate that you make it a sect or a church cause you're treating such a silly thing so religiously
There are plenty of sects who do that in the world. Just tonight, I saw a current affairs program which had an article on the Exclusive Brethren (Plymouth Brethren) in an Aussie town. They think the outside world is so evil, they're willing to break up families and tell children their daddy or mummy is evil, and so they can't see them, even though said parent is actually a good person, and the courts say so.
Does the word "Jonestwon" mean anything to you, MarieElana?
And you're a relative newcomer to Wrong Planet, so you wouldn't know about the "Church" wars that were initiated mainly by OWA. His "Church of Garlic" won because he was more persistent and annoying than the "Church of Mustard".

And everyone thinks about death and fears it
I have never been through a house fire in the morning. However, I have had my bonnet flip up on my car and smash my windscreen thanks to someone reversing into it previously,
on a main road. I had nearly come into mortal combat with my own father, thanks to his inability to acknowledge me as a human being. I have seen family members die from age and disease, and others turn their backs on my mother, myself, and my brother because of their loyalty to my father, who is a bastard, and whose claims to love me, my brother and my mother are very much exaggerated, if not completely false. And I came to a horrifying realisation about death in a very bad convergence of circumstance of circumstance: my coming off antidepressants, and the death of Steve Irwin. So don't think of it as exaggerated macho posturing. My fear, and how often I contend with it, is very real. That is why I do not want ahayes to commit suicide over this sort of thing, as that is the weakest of human will. Dying's easy. Living's harder. And remember that President Kennedy said that the US wouldn't go to the moon because it was easy, but because it was hard.
