Woo (--), MH, Oblique US Pol
There's a part of my brain telling me that the sudden, rapid onset of utter bad shit that's been going down is punishment for the ritual I held.
I stepped out of line.

@Phorm From *whom*, though? If they're omniscient, we're already screwed... and it raises the question of why they didn't go full Ananias and Sapphira on you and just strike *you* dead.
If they're not, well, yeah. You invoke one god of ideology, another one with a beef just might take a shot at you. If somehow all this *is* real and efficacious... isn't that all the more reason to double down and put faith in the one(s) you asked for shelter?

@Phorm What you're describing, if it were a retaliation, assumes (a) your ritual was powerful enough to create consequences at the NATIONAL LEVEL, which sounds [a1] unlikely [a2] desirable; (b) it's from the most powerful bastard on the block, and not just some local demiurge puffing itself up to scare us; (c) it's not as scared as us as you are of it.
Hush, toy, and keep dancing like you were built to. Speak only if you need rewound, or feel the urge to sing. <3

@Phorm [And sorry to adopt the Stern Debunker Voice, but you sounded like you needed it. *hug* I've been through many such fears myself in the years since I ran screaming from the hollowed-out, parasitized version of Christianity that had lured me in. So you've got all my sympathies -- I'm not lecturing *you*, I'm lecturing that frightened subconscious voice that seemed to need a handsqueeze and an "Antler Mom and her friends have got this." <3 ]
