Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And as you can see, I'm not the only one who felt that the Cult of Bloodmoon, as it is presented, just doesn't measure up. And since enforcing SMA is the task of the players, it is up to the players to speak up when they see something that doesn't fit. If the objections raised help mold CoB into something that does fit SMA, then we're all better off for it.

Well, besides what was said was going to be changed, what else do you think should no longer be? In case you name worshiping fruits, do you consider Astroism to be SMA?
Know that the worship of plans implies, as all Shamanic traditions, there are spirits that manifest themselves through the plants (specifically through their consumption). In case of the Ayahuasca, for example, there is a large myth on the two plants used in making it, one being the Father and the other the Mother. It's not just saying "this cucumber is my god, and that is all".
