> I want to recondition the old pastor’s study, get the organ functional again, and we want to make the sanctuary level more easily accessible via ramps and such

I mean, he _claims_ not to want to start a cult, but I feel like, if starting a cult, these are exactly the sort of facilities one would be recommissioning. Especially the organ.

Granted, for a moment I thought this was Charles Stross (the other Very Online sci-fi author), which would be _far_ more worrying, considering.



I think the frequency of organ-centered cults is lower than you might imagine.


In the end, I suspect most cults want all your organs.


Or to do something to you with their organs...


Is this an organ music joke?

(Most cults probably don't have pipe organs, but I feel like it is unquestionably a _plus_ for your cult if you happen to have access to one.)


He also mentioned using the basement for "gatherings" and that immediately set off my cult-alarm bells!

Pretty jealous to be honest, the building itself looks beautiful.


He also created the Githzerai/Githyanki, so other ways of creating cults seem easier.
