Tahlia's and Kennedi's sense of religion is similar in some respects, though. they're both maladjusted and they both feel inadequate. religion to them represents the ideal of purity and perfection they strive for, but it helps feeding their guilt at the same time. the difference between them is that Ken's issues are more intimate and have much more to do with morals, whereas Tahlia was more preoccupied with the social aspect of it. she didn't care about being good as much as she wanted to be appreciated and live in a pristine environment where she would have felt safe. Tahlia was also less intelligent and well-read, and way more delusional, probably because she was brought up in a backwards environment and all her life revolved around a perfectly sealed echo chamber inhabited by /pol/ idiots. Ken, on the other hand, seems genuinely idealistic. she seems to aspire to some sort of liberating transcendence where all impurities are consumed to be replaced by a newly found harmony, devoid of any asperity and conflict. she's kind of into saints, martyrs and mysticism, isn't she? her idea of love is part of this fusional fantasy and communism is just a secular version of it. these ideals are distinctive of a sensitive person, but they're also quite dangerous, since they're very unrealistic. a person who feels like this is bound to have their expectations regularly frustrated by reality. this might have something to do with autism as well. I know that Agatha used to have obsessive religious thoughts and severe ocd when she was a child. autistic people tend to see the world in black and white, and christianity is very well suited to such a worldview. they can't cope with people's complexity, with their motives and contradictions, and they can't put themselves in other people's shoes so, if they're particularly idealistic, they might be prone to judging others (and themselves) by abstract standards and being rather sanctimonious. I’m obviously just psychonalyzing her and I’m not even that knowledgeable about her to sure of what I’m saying. it would be much more interesting to hear what she has to say about it.
