Well, my other idea is that we have houses like in HP.

K?

Believers can be the Varnixly house
Apologists can be the Xedocoo house
NOMs can be the Hondiddly house

Critics can be the Popersee house

Yeah, I actually made a mistake.

Blue for believers
Purple for apologists
Red for NOMs

That makes more sense because apologists are more of a NOM/believer hybrid thingy.

Okay...so now if you're a NOM and defend Mormonism you're a TBM. This is working perfectly, it appears.

If you are a NOM and defend Mormonism you are an apologist.

by the way, you are taking this waaaay too seriously. How do you like my house idea?

I'm not taking it seriously at all, really. I'm not really into these creating categories ideas. No big deal, I just disagree that its all that useful.

The categories have already been created. They exist regardless of what we may wish.

I'm a heterdoxual man who lives in whatever house Just Me is joining, because that will be the funnest house. I think the house will be orange. And I'm sure we will let homodoxual people in as well. And lesbians.

I believe the houses have already been assigned ...
Believers can be the celestial house
Apologists can be the terrestrial house
NOMs can be the telestrial house
And Critics get the trailer park
