LUMEN were the first to respond:
I don’t disagree with you—and I’ve had to reconcile the fact that I think the Faith is poisonous with the fact that the woman I love and want to spend my life with is duty-bound to Reclaim me.
I told her to give it her best effort, because I weighed which of those things was more important to me, and the choice was obvious.
Opposing the Faith is not a bad hill to die on—but is it the right hill to die on when we have an actual alien force—one that either replenishes itself or has infinite forces to throw at us—attempting to take control of our suns?
Are you and your alliance fighting those invaders? Or are you ignoring them and letting it play out?
