Its basically a groomer cult tbh. They set up their own mine field with having children participating in bathing people etc. It seems like they wanted something like the old Japanese geisha stuff, real high class prostitutes/companions artists, dancers etc, but they should have stressed something like the children helped in the kitchens, maybe were trained in art and poetry, but stayed the f away from client work. Instead they continuously insinuate them helping with most everything just not directly participating which is a bad idea. Mallachs interactions as *SPOILER*river*SPOILER* kinda showcase him as currently the most decent god, and is the only one showing direct intervention to help beside lumia, even helping people not under his domain, but his temple and teachings don't reflect that.
Probably the key thing is the temples also caits arc, if you build it she's supposed to lean even more towards ho, if you don't she's supposed to be more attached (still ho more than likely just less so). I believe the lore is their abdomen tattoos protect them against all pregnancies (unless they actively desire it) and stds etc but is still something to just turn your brain off about, like they might be protected but what if another partner comes into contact with std fluids or whatever.
