"...I don't want to be around people who casually endanger themselves."
This is why I finally totally separated from the liberal church I used to attend. Their headquarters had moved so far over into progressive woke territory that I found it increasingly uncomfortable to attend. Locally, there were some people who weren't that bad, but others were drinking the Kool Aid. I had already stopped attending a few years ago soon after the minister yelled at a woman (in a church service!) for using an inappropriate word during sharing time, which certainly could have been handled in another way. This year I finally had them drop me from all their mailing lists, as I didn't want any type of connection resulting in their blow back splashing over on me. There were some neo-pagans/witches (I'm not sure what term they would call themselves) who attended, and I don't know if there was any cursing and hexing going on, but even if not, I had already decided that it was no longer the place for me.
