i am not in fact the leader of a cult but id be a pretty good one i think, im grey-a so not into the weird sex stuff that undoes most cults
all the rituals are just for fun and sex acts are all extracirricular and between enthusiastically consenting adults only! now who wants some koolaid

I explained mormonism to a friend and it was embarrassing to just have the words coming out of my mouth.
"…Magical glasses?"
"…Yeah."
"And then he didn't pass the 'are you BSing' test, and it still became a religion?"
".............................................. yeah 😷"
@anna i hate the conversation that goes:
friend: mormon missionaries! they're so quirky and nice, those mormons
me, glossing over the inherently colonial nature of christian missionaryism: Mormonism is a cult
them: aren't *all* religions cults? if you *think about it*?
me, an ex-mormon: i do not think you understand how messed up Mormonism is
them: yeah but all religions are weird!
like srsly mormonism is an honest-to-goodness harmful racist misogynistic anti-queer soft-doomsday cult & it's so frustrating when people don't believe me or "romanticise" mormons as just quirky helpful nice guys instead of, y'know, people trapped in a cult
@colleen me: they fucked up my life and i will never talk to my family again bc of them also they spent billions of dollars trying to keep me from getting married
them: but they're so nice
