theweaselkingLast Hallowe'en, a woman from a psycho cult made a blog post about her 5yo son wanting to dress up as Daphne from Scooby Doo for Hallowe'en, making fun of the various smallminded idiotic things her fellow cult members had said and defending, absolutely, her son's right to innocently act any way he wants to.
She's been "excommunicated" from her cult, for "bearing false witness" (truthfully reporting, without names, places, or other identifying details, the accurate and complete statements of others) and "violating the teachings of Matthew 18" (not beating, torturing, or murdering her five-year-old son for daring to, without understanding, do something that might possibly be considered "kinda gay-ish")
She says: "this is not a manifesto against organized religion, church, Christianity, its various denominations, etc."
Well, actually, yes it IS a perfectly compelling manifesto against all of those things. You just don't see it that way, yet.
