News story #3 is actually kind of crazy to me. The only possible explanation for someone filling that lawsuit is if they don’t believe in their own tenets. The suit has no grounds and is meant to suppress criticism.
It pretty clearly is a direct contradiction with tenet 4 (respecting freedoms of others, especially the freedom to offend)
I might expect hypocrisy like this from other religious groups, but for TST, the tenets are a fundamental part of their movement.
It is QUITE A BIT more nuanced than that…
This is their co-founder, and spokesperson? wtf
