what is it with leftards and their ritualistic recitals of certain phrases in order to show allegiance/self-humiliation
as a Catholic, I was taught
the Mass evolved over centuries to meet the emotional and spiritual needs of humans. this is how it communicates redemption.
(all religious worship reflects these patterns--all faiths)
So, using that formula, what they are doing is: the recitation of the creed, its part of Mass. also,
doing litanies, which are done during
devotions.
Their Reddit posts and tweets are like acts of prayer, then at the end, you have to
affirm the creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
Anything you have said or done before this point is washed away in the final
benediction.
as someone who actually does these things all the time, the religious elements are very obvious to me, in all SocJus communities. they even follow the same patterns as the Mass: confess sins out loud, pray, litanies, "go and sin no more"-- etc. It changes during holidays (Christmas, Easter, etc) just as the SocJus ppl will change things for protests or meetings.
it has actually proven to me that these things really are 'unconscious needs' in many many humans, after I went thru a period of doubting it.
Not now.
