the way they look and dress should have been the major red flag. i highly recommend using your eyeballs.
so the bald old men could feel less insecure.
deep down all religions are about insecurity. that's why they attract some of the ugliest and depressed peopleโฆ so they have an excuse to preach things you can't do because they themselves are incapable of doing those things or somply dont have them to begin with.
religion is a vessel for incels.
then once the incels feel better about themselves because no one else can do what they can't do to bring everyone down low to their level so they don't have to feel bad about existing since they suck at everything, they start to abuse that power by ironically now saying they are the chosen ones and start molesting kids.
