Who do I worship? The scary looking dude or the chainsaw?

[Kot]

Isin't the chainsaw a bit scary looking too?

[Arx]

Worshipping the chainsaw would be straying into the problematic parts of iconography, wouldn't it? Better to avoid that.

[TD1]

It's hardly iconography if the chainsaw is Deity itself.

Ah, the Redemptionists, the only people to have achieved true excessive zealotry by the standards of Imperial culture.

[Loud Whispers]

And the Black Templars, purging with my kin

[MetalSlimeHunt]

At least the BTs have superhuman everything to match the superhuman zealotry, the Redemptionists are more impressive for being that crazy but otherwise typical humans.

[Loud Whispers]

It'd be kinda neat to see the redemptionists take over humanity and birth a chaos god of self-loathing and zealotry that ends up in a fistfight with the other 4. Mangod of mankind specializing in the humanity dark souls style
But that's for 40k thred

[Kot]

Its fitting for this thread too. Don't you dare be intolerant of my peaceful religion.

Remember that one South African pastor who was spraying Doom insecticide on and inside his followers for "healing"?

Well now, apparently another South African pastor fed his congregation rat poison to prove that they're above death. Five of them died.

Or so it seems, anyway. I can't find a good source on this, but there are pictures so it seems like it can't be fake. I found the post on their Facebook so that part is real for sure, it's the deaths that are in question.

Anyway, someone tell the South Africans to stop trying to prove their faith with pest control substances, it's getting weird.

Now that's just silly. They should use venomous snakes like reasonable people.

[Telgin]

Snake handling is an interesting case.  Whenever I used to tell people I was part of a Pentecostal Holiness church, they'd frequently jump to saying, "Oh, you mean the snake handling people?"

It was a rare day that I could say, "No, they're not quite that crazy."

A song about Julian of Norwich.  Whether it's senseless optimism, or a legitimate whispered promise, I liked it.

All will be well, and all manner of things will be well.

Edit:  Like specifically the song brings up a lot of problems with Earth, and then is like "Shh... it's okay"

...  And this is a long shot, but I seem to remember an exultant, fast-paced rock song...  And I feel like the chorus started JUUULian of NOOORwich.  But it was probably someone else, right?  Just in case someone remembers.

Okay so there's this thing in a bit less than two hours:
https://extranewsfeed.com/a-spell-to-bind-donald-trump-and-all-those-who-abet-him-february-24th-mass-ritual-51f3d94f62f4#.tbahs4rfo

First off, while actual witches are generally claiming the spell is mere binding not cursing, it does involve wishing that he fail in all things.  So that's a thing.

Besides that part, even though I'm heavily ill and consequently a bit drunk at the moment, I'm going to contribute my own energy.  Though in a strictly positive way, hoping that good comes of these recent terrifying events.  Though there will be a lot of negative energy, I think there will be more hope.  Even if this is all nothing, I'd rather contribute positively that not at all.

I bow my head at church, I can at least perform a personalized jury-rigged version of the ritual.
I even have a tarot deck, and losing the Tower will be significant to me - that probably helps.
