But for them to say “we don’t create ships” is point blank wrong. Ships = relationships.
I think “relationships” is a neutral term. “Ships”, though, are like “morals”. If a person likes one, then it’s right and good and unquestionably the way things ought to be, as far as the believer is concerned. It can’t be allowed to change, because it’s already perfect. From the point of view of someone who doesn’t favour a particular ship, it seems like fanaticism.
