5. Great and hilarious summary of religion's Internet Problem

Back in the good old days, the believers could pontificate away and never have to put up with a dissenting voice.

Now they can only do that by walling off "safe spaces" and commanding others to not go look over there. The problem is, when many humans are told NOT to go look over there, that's exactly what they will do. (Well, I do, anyway.)

And it's a lot harder to preserve your religion's Holy Secrets with the Internet in the world. Whether those secrets are the Operating Thetan VIII procedures or Mormon magic underwear. "Hard to preserve" because most religious sects have quite a few unhappy former customers willing to spill the beans.
