The notion that there exist dangerous thoughts is mistaken for the simple reason that thinking itself is dangerous to all creeds, convictions, and opinions.

if you were to give the iterum clans creeds like the ones on the website (thunderclan is "courage and honor", starclan is "wisdom and wonder", etc), what would you give them? including starclan too
This ask got buried under a lot of that Patreon business, my apologies. I have a feeling it's old.
The creeds of the four Clans and StarClan, eh? These are just off the top of my head, so don't take them as the ultimate decision, but these are pretty good, I think. For fun, and at Lynx's suggestion, I'll also do the Halls of the Three.
ThunderClan: I think it would stay "Courage and Honor". Those are both things ThunderClan values greatly, so it works.
RiverClan: "Mirth and Memory". Describing both the general attitude of the river cats (fun-loving and jokey) and their task among the Clans, which is to keep the history and mythological library of their overall culture.
WindClan: "Speed and Skill". "Speed" is an obvious one, but I stole "Skill" from RiverClan to reference the multiple things WindClan is secretly quite good at, such as tunneling, sneaking and speaking in multiple tongues.
ShadowClan: "Prayer and Strength". They're very devout and extremely durable, so I think this fits. "Strength" sounds better than "Toughness" or "Durability", if you ask me.
StarClan: "Visions and Whispers". Both of these are to reference their method of speaking to the living - that is, through discreet, softly-spoken signs and visions that take a sharp ear and eye to notice.
Horoa's Hunters: "Justice and Resolve". This Hall is all about protecting the living by chasing down monsters and wraiths that could bring or have brought danger where they go. An eternal hunt for evil should fit that creed fine.
Suriin's Council: "Wisdom and Cunning". These cats are extremely intelligent - "Wisdom" - and require wit of another level to solve complex problems for mortals - "Cunning". This is the one I'm least sure of, but I couldn't think of anything better to describe their smarts of both experience and inherent nature.
Rokhar's Seers: "Silence and Cecity". Rokhar, even to his followers, is not heard and hardly ever seen, but he speaks through the heart and makes his presence abundantly clear whether you can see him or not. I feel like, since he's the most unsettling of the Three, he'd have the most vague and uneasy of all the creeds.

The featured 19th-century Russian icon is dedicated to the creeds of faith, also known as the confessions of faith. What are they? The word creed stems from the Latin word crēdō (“I believe”). In Christianity, it refers to a statement or rather a declaration of beliefs in a religious community. Historically, they were called symbols and contained termed articles of faith – doctrines. The earliest known creed in Christianity was “Jesus is Lord.” In the icon, you can see 12 creeds chronologically linked to the events of the past.

So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Spirit, not three Holy Spirits. And in this Trinity none is afore, nor after another; none is greater, or less than another. But the whole three persons are co-eternal, and co-equal. So that in all things, as aforesaid, the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.

You’re not “noncredal,” or “nonconfessional.” You just reject creeds and confessions that predate the Second Great Awakening.

There is a destiny that makes us brothers:
None goes his way alone:
All that we send into the lives of others
Comes back onto our own.
I care not what his temples or his creeds,
One thing holds firm and fast
That into his fateful heap of days and deeds
The soul of man is cast.
— Edwin Markham

A spiritual discipline I will take on between November 1st through Christmas season is the memorizing and putting to heart of the Nicene Creed. I don't know it like the back of my hand like I know the Apostles'. Knowing the divine promises better will make me a better pastor.
