Before you mentioned the 'puritanical', religious approach this person was taking, I was thinking, "There it is, that old-time religion!" And not revival tent religion, but vicious medieval Inquisition-style religion, where there was no chance of redemption, no chance to repent, and the end intention was utter destruction. These people aren't yet at the point where they advocate physically torturing people in public for entertainment and 'education' but they're on the same path.

You did a great job of defining the differences between 'boycott' and 'cancel culture' - the former is transformative, and seeks to correct a current problem, whereas the latter is about sheer human cruelty. This gal might want to be careful about supporting 'canceling' people for far-past 'sins', because 'woke' won't last forever - there are some signs it's beginning to fray around the edges - and *she* may be the one getting 'cancelled' some day because of her ancient 2022 support for human cruelty.

Haha, exactly! It's not the fun, Gospel choir singing, falling down in rapture religion. I wouldn't mind a bit of that.

It's incredible though, isn't it. The language people like these use. I wonder if E would even consider himself religious (interesting that people are reading him as a "she," Dave did the same thing). I'm guessing no. Yet, "...the mere passage of time does not wash away your sins,” just rolls of his tongue. I guess it's this level of moral certitude that prevents them from realising it'll be their turn to face judgement one day.
