What was it that got them into it? Were you able to maintain a relationship with them or did you have to cut them out of your life? How on Earth do they do the mental gymnastics to believe something that is so farcically untrue?

    These intersectionalities are interesting. I think this has a lot to do with monotheism falling off recently and people flocking to the closest spirituality that makes them feel good.

      Agreed. It's not even just spirituality - people are filling the void with all sorts of shit. Just look at how diet plans develop these cult-like followings, and how normalised it's become to stan media products to the point of basing your whole identity around how much of a fan you are.

      Guess that's what happens when you force rugged individualism onto a species that craves collective identity.
