Bless me, Aloe Vera,
for I have sinned

In New York, where the UN’s climateers are gathering for their latest doomfest, Gaia’s faithful are pleading with pot plants for forgiveness:

New York’s non-denominational Union Theological Seminary (UTS) held a ceremony Tuesday where members of the community placed plants in the center of the chapel and confessed their sins to them.

“Today in chapel, we confessed to plants,” UTS tweeted, together with a picture of the ritual. “Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honor.”

It is not known what penance the leafy confessors prescribed.
