For those who think I am crazy:
But, to me, "God" is Still an Octopus named Sheryl.
And she is neither good nor evil.
She is simply Sheryl. And she is an Octopus.
She supports minding your own business unless it actually directly hurts you, and eating whenever you need to and whatever you need to.
She supports eating the rich, they're tasty because they're so well-fed and taken care of.
She supports taking care of yourself, physically and mentally.
She supports reproductive rights and the choice of the owner of the body, because your body only belongs to yourself, and if you choose to share it, you still have the ultimate say.
She supports YOU and what YOU need to survive.
She supports doing what exercise you can.
She does NOT support Universe 25 as a baseline, because She believes that you must have enrichment to survive.
She supports getting support where you need it.
And She supports you doing whatever you can to get the help you need or want.
She does NOT support the current economical system, because it is littering Her oceans and hurting Her fish.
She supports You doing what You need to survive.
And most of all, She is a Concept. She is a thought process.
She is thinking "Would an octopus care?" And if the octopus would not care, you do not care.
Of course, there are flaws to Sherylism. But every sort of ideology has flaws. Sherylism is embracing these inherent flaws and taking this as a Framework, not as a rulebook. It is using the tools you have to get the resources you need. A "God" should not be something that punishes you for doing something wrong. A "God" rewards you for doing something right. A "God" lets YOU choose what you prioritize.
But this is Not a cult, or really even a religion, other than me calling Sheryl a "God". This is just a set of beliefs influenced by the life of a young, disabled, queer, lower-middle class person in late-stage capitalist America.
Sheryl's land companion is a large spider named Chester, because I said so. Everybody deserves a friend, even if they are inherently so different from you in terms of upbringing and ability that you cannot imagine life from their point of view.
I also just really think that Octopi and Spiders are neat.
I don't like people. I think it's pretty clear just from how I talk. But I also love people. I love their creativity. I love their intelligence. I love their art, their ways of thought, and the fascinating things they can come up with.
