It's mind boggling that a guy who was National Security Advisor to POTUS even for a couple Scaramuccis and is also former chief of military intelligence is now touring with and promoting this bloodthirsty lunatic and her visions of apocalyptic murder and mayhem. WTAF!

Stella brings back some shitty memories from my childhood. Imagine living in constant fear of demonic possession, and being left behind from the rapture, and going to hell because some part of you is inherently sinful. That’s what everyone in that audience is going through.

I grew up casually in the Catholic cult. Religions are just ancient cults and cults were created by emperors in order to control their subjects minds. Much easier to control thousands of cult leaders than billions of free thinking logical individuals.

I agree that they are often just used as methods of control, but I don’t think it has to be that way, or that secularism is perfect protection from cult mind control (look at all of the libertarian/ eugenicist/ trans humanistic cults, and all of the Marxist cults). I think the best protection from cult control is ultimately tolerance, compassion and pluralism.

I found God when I left Catholicism. My God is the Big Bang and all of existence. My creators are the Sun our father and the Earth our mother.

I’m glad you found a belief system that gives you peace. That’s what it’s all about.
