Geli's religion, I'm certain you agree, is not denounced in the novel.
So, we agree that not all religions are denounced.
Is Geli's religion organized or not?
If not, and if we can agree that Geli's religion is not denounced, and
is not an organized religion, all we need is an example of an
organization that cops a bad rap.
Provide one. Please be as specific as the text. So, Anabaptist is
acceptable, but not the Christian army-chaplainS.
