The Church of Apostacy exists to enable its adherents to join and then leave as many different religious and cultural groups as possible.
If any disciple of the Church of Apostacy finds a religious or cultural grouping they are not yet an ex-member of, they are duty bound to first join and then leave
that grouping.
The Church collects donations and sponsorship to fund its extensive bueraucratic apparatus which provides administrative, financial and practical support for adherents, so as to streamline if not automate their joining and leaving of each movement.
Each adherent is formally known as a "probationer" since of course they cannot be considered a full member until they renounce their membership of the Church of Apostacy.

It would need to have a "protection" division, to look after those
who leave religions that you're "not allowed" to leave. |
|
| |
What if you never join one in the first place? |
|
| |
Does that make you antiapostatic? |
|
| |
Would donations be an "apostatic charge"? And if they ask for
more, it might give you an "apostatic shock". |
|
| |
If you don't join, you can't leave! |
|
| |
It's a bit like wanting to be a parachutist, but not wanting to ascend beforehand! |
|
| |
And leaving is your moral and spiritual duty... if you are a true Apostate. |
|
| |
From the title, I thought this was going to be a very
well-insulated church (from the prefix "apo-"
meaning "separate from, free from, etc." and
"static", as in static electricity) |
|
| |
So, the Russell Set, except you have to stop shaving a lot. |
|
| |
I still think they should electrostatically charge the
Kaaba. |
|

Howabout an apodynamic church, one in which you
could be constantly leaving and rejoining. Bonus
points for the fastest digital join-leave-join wave
possible before the church authorities cracked
down. Extra bonus points if you could transmit
Morse code in some spycraft fashion by your state
of membership. |
|
| |
[RS] the benefit of that would be that you could
leave and rejoin the church multiple times during
a service, depending on which bits of the service
you like or agree with, which hymns you like, etc. |
|
| |
You already know I'm going to bun this. I'd bun it twice if I
could. Understanding our differences is the only way peace
will ever happen. |
|
| |
Could you approach a state of quantum
membership indeterminance? |
|
| |
If you were to put a Catholic priest in a box with a
choir boy, can his state of purity be detemined
without opening the box? Is the priest a dualistic
waveform saint and child molester simultaneously? |
