Bruh, I'm not in the religion. I'm a fan of existing and moving through the world, so I find it helpful to understand the human structures of power that influence that world. Bishops are political appointees, with power over a region roughly between a US House Rep and a Senator.

You can use whatever words you like, but people are similarly free to judge you for your ignorance. Willfulness doesn't change its fundamental nature.

Ok, fair enough.

It's not something I'd deliberately get wrong as a gesture of disrespect.

But the problem is that the fans of the different sky-fairies get awfully upset over the colour of the invisible sandals. One former friend of mine complained that I called his bunch of god-botherers Roman Catholics and would I please stop that because it was the one true Catholic church. I pointed out 2 or 3 other Catholic churches and he dismissed them and demanded his was accorded appropriate respect.

I told him, and I mean it, that I accorded it 100% of the respect and deference it merited, deserved and earned over 2000 years. They're a bunch of deluded loonies telepathically telling a dead Jew on a stick that they love him because they think his dad will torture them forever if they don't. It's a death cult that worships a radical hippy who preached poverty but they're obscenely rich, and the alleged founder said no other gods, so they've invented 2 more main gods and worship gold-plated statues of made-up gods, of whom they invent more every year.

These people killed people like me when they had power.

It is our duty to society to point out how utterly ridiculous their cults are.

Lovely architecture, though.
