been a long time since I read the book, but didn't the original tenets include a bunch of edgy language like destroying anyone who encroached on your freedom? This reads like it has been sterilized.

I used to dabble in the noodly appendages but I was put-off how serious people seemed to be taking the whole thing.
That's how things always start: the initial group makes a joke, the second group pretends to follow it, and then later down the line people actually buy-in. It's essentially the 4Chan playbook.

That's something I've always though. That "thunder is a god fighting the frost giants" started as a joke. Like many other religions.
