That sounds very helpful. I've found charts like

collapsed inline mediathese
helpful for drilling down from a general feeling to something more specific.

I especially like

collapsed inline mediathis one
because it associates them with how the body feels.

I grew up reading these. So fucked up. One of them was pulled from print for advocating that CSA victims stay at home with their abusers and forgive them (or else), so long as their abuser believes in Jesus.

Fundies have a more two-class system in mind for Heaven: God-King and unquestionably loyal fans.

That must've been tough to do. You have the respect of at least one internet stranger 🫡

I worked as a pastor and professor for a global, evangelical television ministry/college. They knowingly conceal scholarship on the Bible and punish their pastors for asking any questions that undermine their most closely held traditions (including anti-evolution, mental illness is supernatural, etc.). They tell their US viewers that they can't call themselves Christians if they don't vote Republican, while still enjoying tax-exempt status. They use pseudohistorians to inspire Christian Nationalism over their network, and are one of the largest propaganda networks for the Religious Right. A U.S. Capitol police commander told me his men were fighting people who were wearing the network's brand.
