       | We might could have thought about that _before_ killing the
       | churches, right? but that would have meant a crack in the  "all

       | tolerated no deviance so here we are.

       | Related: asking "where are the cults?" today is like asking
       | "where's the rain" at the bottom of the Mediterranean after
       | Gibraltar broke: we have manifested Babylon and are giving it
       | teeth and jackboots.
