Going to start spreading the good news that God is an owl and that they will snatch you out of the blue if you're a liberal

  • there is no hell or penalty for not being a part of the religion
  • weekly gatherings happen on Monday mornings (not on the weekend like others)
  • weekly gatherings include a free meal and ample social time with the congregants.

A few key teachings:

  • it is right to make sacrifices in this life to make a better life for our (collective) descendants (if necessary).

  • "full adulthood" and associated responsibilities are to be taken on at about the age of 30. We prepare those younger than that to be ready to take on the challenges of the world once they get to that age.

  • people are expected to prepare themselves for old age, and take a step back from leadership when they are about 60 or 70. The goal is the congregation is to make sure that our younger members are equipped to take care of us and our community, so we can enjoy old age.

  • adults are expected to treat the children of the congregation as "small people", engaging with them, being role models, teaching them responsibilities (at an age appropriate level of course). The congregation takes an interest in supporting parents and families of the congregation and community at large.

  • traditions, rituals, liturgy, and other practices TBD.

Just curious what appeals to you about it if you don't mind sharing haha

Feel free to tack on a few ideas of your own!

It all appeals to me - the further I went down the list, the more I was like, "hell yeah, this is great!"

I think my favorite part is that treating children like people is a specific tenet, but I also think your ideas about the expectations at different stages of life are wise.

The whole thing is lovely, and I would love to live in that society.
