guy who so desperately tries to find god. who wants to have faith in a higher authority to guide him out of the hole he's in. from the weight of guilt from simply existing, as the person he is. but every time he thinks he's answered his higher calling it turns out he's made the Morally Incorrect choice and his path to goodness and holiness was the road to the devil all along

#now trusting god will give you a way out? there's your real crime!!!#guy betrayed by the protestant promise of a direct connection with god. but is also somehow. joan of arc.#see he never achieves actual martyrdom tho bc he's not allowed to stay dead lmaooo #sam somehow the most unintentionally catholic AND protestant character of all time #dean the atheist who sees religious predestination as the curse it is from the get go. framed as the narrative's Real Moral Authority #but also in the process reifying patriarchal familial power n authority. very very important Value of the Church #i don't think it's that deep. the show's attempt at critiquing christianity. but the way it reinforces christian cultural values???#'religious predestination and absolute faith in a higher authority...bad'#nice nice ok tell me more?#“so you should put your faith in family. in your patriarch (big brother)”#?????????#the thematic incoherence of it all. it's like the world's stupidest puzzle box to me. i can't leave it alone.#sam = maybe i can find god thru following my destined path. wait oh shit.#cas = maybe i can find god thru rebellion and seeking my own destiny. wait oh shit.#dean = god is fucking dead and me i also feel not so good #the “guy who so desperately wants to find god parallel” <- me coming out as a secret sastiel fan #both of them...finding god in de-[sniper on the roof kills me in one shot]#spn bible studies #j.txt

i think it’s a pretty important facet of zane’s character that for all his catastrophic problems and the pain spiral he has to work to pull himself out of, for all of his social clumsiness that’s there from day one, he is still an inherently good person. it’s a very telling and deliberate choice in gx for zane to ultimately come back to using Cyber End Dragon in his duel against jesseyubel, instead of the Cyberdarks. the fact that his ultimate true ace monster, the monster he uses to go out on his own terms, the monster most associated with him, is a LIGHT attribute monster? that’s no accident.

#and of course. the recurring themes in ygo about monsters and how they can be pieces of their users' soul #god i fucking love the way decks in ygo TELL STORIES THEMSELVES. ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE. IT COULD BE THAT DEEP!!!!#ygo posting #dana's ygo bible study

#- HK #had another novel idea based upon that news story about the mosaic at Armageddon being moved to the Museum of the Bible #and how it dates back to the time of Christian persecution by the Roman empire #and yet one of the chief donors to the construction of the church it’s in was a centurion #and now I have this character in my head who is the cynical and ambitious wife of a centurion #who likes him well enough before he converts but is disgusted and disappointed in him afterwards #not because he’s switched religions (this is just the Unknown God right?) but because he’s behaving like a ‘weak’ man #in deferring to her judgment and investing his own time in their children #and fraternizing with people so below their class and worthless in their utility #so she’s like. keeping his secret because Honor. but also hates him for embarrassing her in front of the slaves.#and then she finds out that Christians gather at NIGHT like the cult of BACCHUS?? and do CANNIBALISM?? nah fam she is not having it #but who knows….maybe. he’s found out and sentenced to die and maybe. she save him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#which would be a whole other can of fascinating worms to unpack bc maybe he WANTED to be a martyr maybe he was PREPARED #but I digress #it’d be a deep-study project but I’ve always been fascinated by the Romans so #x #writing

there are so many unanswered questions I have regarding my religious studies but one that keeps popping up is regarding Judas…Did Jesus (and God??) know that Judas was going to betray him? And if so, does that mean his fate was to betray him? AND if that’s true, then doesn’t that say more about God? It makes me feel sympathetic towards Judas but I know that’s probably a very simplistic line of questioning since I don’t know the story…also these questions aren’t rhetorical, I’m genuinely curious about this

#lol Bible Study teachers hate HER #and I hate that these questions always spiral into larger philosophical questions because I don’t want it to be that deep

i really will never understand people who don’t *heavily* question what they read in religious texts because i’m on chapter four of genesis (thanks Serial Reader app) and already spent close to an hour googling questions where most of the links that come up are christian answer/analysis sites that literally say “Obviously, _____” and then something I don’t find obvious and is actually very debatable imo

#thank you jewish websites that give multiple perspectives and basically end with a 🤷‍♀️#god i would be hell to have in a bible study group or class because i would ask a question about every single verse #for example how is abel raising sheep bc pastoralism didn’t exist yet #and then i have to take a deep breath and remember this is a story and an allegory etc #and people thousands of years ago didn’t really have anthropology #nora screams into the void #but this post in particular is about the use of plural pronouns for god #and one site said it was obviously a reference to the trinity #bitch this text is originally jewish; do you think they were talking about the christian trinity??!!?#the jewish site said it was basically the royal we #also sometimes the king james version is just completely incomprehensible but that’s all the app has #but it also has the quran so i might fuck around and read that too when i’m done

Is Your Bible Reading a Nourishing Meal or Just a Bag of Potato Chips?

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to treat Bible reading like a quick snack—satisfying a momentary craving with a few verses here and there, much like reaching into a bag of potato chips. But is this approach to Scripture truly nourishing our spiritual lives? Matthew 4:4 reminds us, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Just as our bodies…

God was definitely an Alien so idk where that leaves you guys

* pats the pope on the head*

#personal #okay but like #i have some thoughts #and they go deep when it comes to the history of world religions and early Christian religions #a lot of the Bible has some amazing bit of history sprinkled in it #but we don’t study the history because it’s a religious book and that gets viewed as naughty #Aliens are real man and used to worship them bitches
