I could not ethically nor honestly participate in what, to me, had become a fantastical ritual given very very grand and heavy meaning. I am not going to go to the trans church and say I believe in the god when I don't
Not every “ritual given very heavy meaning” is a religion that has a god! Not everything is a damn religion! I’ve been a fan of watching pro and college sports for over 30 years, especially when you’re actually at a game, there’s a bunch of rituals. Ya know, join in with the crowd, who’s all chanting certain things at the right times.
Uhh….wait, maybe that sounds more like a religion than I thought it did. All hail our lord and saviour Dan Campbell, MCDC. Go Lions! (15-2, #1 seed in the NFC, fuck yeah!)
