Cathedrals

Went through Elwa the other day.

Saw the containment vessels.

Maybe I should take this moment to found the new faith.

Now, I am going to be intellectually honest here, I am stealing a lot of beliefs from the "Cargo Cult" 9f indigenous New Guinea post WWII and slamming it forcibly against the Christian propensity to build big fucking buildings with no useful purpose.

Now this is going to be the seed of the religion, the time isn't ready yet, but when the decline we are facing starts getting some serious traction, then what we set up now will come into play and then Ka-ching baby, we are in the catbird seat.

So here is what we serve up to our parishioners.  Remember, this will start being useful about 30-40 years from now when we get on the other side of this first serious decline

The basic tenets of this faith are going to be pretty straightforward.  The people of the past had cooler shit than what we have now (of course I see this as a trend).  So of course we have to worship them so that they will share the cool shit and help us around the next shitstorm.

Well, we have this big useless containment building that is sitting there unused and it is way cooler than anything our weak-ass shit can pull off.

Let's stick in a shitload of cramped pews ( I am proposing repurposed economy seating from Ryanair) and bring the rabble in to throw down some tithe.

Look, this is brilliant.  Building is a done deal.  Built helfer-stout.  Literally the design parameters were such that the tower was able to withstand the impact of a 747 in a dive (fuck you Twin Towers).  Look, maintenance will be zero and you will be able to add all kinds of shit as you need.

My first idea was to call it the church of whoops WPPS, but that was too obvious.  So I thinks that I will name it, "The Church of the Container".  Now we're going.  

Container vessel.....yeah put there to contain the evil demons of nuclear energy and force them to work as we lay mickle spells to control the demons.  Ohhh .. serious theological bullshit possibilities here.

Then with the nuclear bad guys clearly identified, then bring in the second of the trinity for the Church...the shipping container!!!   This is the member of the trinity needing worship.  These were the containers bearing the wealth from elsewhere.  This one is for the schmucks who pony up the money. 

The third act is tying together the idea of container, that limits are the only way that things become useful.  Here is the real theological kicker.  The outer church will worship the stuff coming in the shipping containers, the middle church will be wary of the useful demons, and the inner church will focus on the idea of limits.
