Reading the announcement of the Church really made my Logosmas that much
brighter. There is nothing more abhorrent in this world than to feel
entitled to something that is not yours to receive. Having myself snuck
into a number of rites (out of curiosity, or perhaps mischief, or even a
love of irony), and having been kicked out of quite a few, it may be
surprising to some that I now feel compelled to congratulate the Church
on this act. But the rite of Prayer is a rite of religious purity, to
serve the purpose of Light, Order, Good. As a priestess of the Dark
Lord, I would destroy any who tried to falsely garner His power through
facetious gestures. Attendance to a rite - of the Church or of any Deity
- in which your inner soul's intention is not absolute is the uttermost
form of sacrilege. It may happen, of course, but only as an open act of
hostility and war - and it gladdens me greatly to see that the Church
has decided to stand by a sanctity. It is in forgetting where the
difference between defiling and sanctifying lies that the world perishes
into dust.

I applaud this very rare event - the factual upholding of an ideal. If
the church must be an adversary at some point further, I shall be glad
that the adversary becomes that much worthier.

P.S. Oh, look, Calhoun - I did become a priestess of ideals! Now to work
on the sweet, innocent, and pristine parts...
