This week's drama in Spain:

The depiction of Jesus Christ on this year's Holy Week poster of Seville is too sexy for your cat:

According to the ultra-Catholic association Abogados Cristianos, they will start a legal battle to ban the image due to its blasphemous nature: he's too sexy, too handsome, too androginous, and too effeminate (too twink??). Also, he seemingly hasn't enough blood or clothes on.

He's been also described as too gay-looking because some LGBTI community members have praised him online, and everybody knows that everything queer people like becomes queer.

Homophobia disguised as iconoclasm in the f*cking 21st century.

Btw this epic painting was created by Sevillian artist Salustiano.

B'Elanna, Neelix, Tuvok and Chakotay needed to star in an episode where they just talked about their different beliefs and approaches to spirituality/religion. Paired off and all together. I need to gain more insight. I need characterization and I need it to be messy.

#B'Elanna's difficulty with Klingon myths and religion (especially due to her internalized racism) #Chakotay's current strong belief in his own spirituality despite his initial complete rejection of it (and how B'Elanna seems to admire #and have talked with Chakotay about it extensively in the past given how many specifics she's aware of) #Neelix's belief in an afterlife being the only thing that comforted him after his entire family was killed - the knowledge that he would be #able to reunite with them again and that knowledge being ripped away from him #Does he still believe? Are there other aspects of his previous spiritual beliefs that are thrown into question? #Just because it isn't 'real' does it make it unimportant? How do we even know whether or not it's 'real'? #He died and doesn't remember reaching that tree and seeing his family - does that mean it didn't happen? #Tuvok's line in 'Innocence' about how he's begun to have doubts about whether or not a katra exists and what happens after someone dies #and his firm ties to Vulcan spirituality and ritual #ALL SO INTERESTING!!!!!!!! #star trek voyager #I don't think it'd be a calm or healthy conversation either - they're not therapists and I don't think anyone but Chakotay #would be particularly careful with his words #and before you say Tuvok's a Vulcan so he would be let me remind you that Tuvok told B'Elanna to her face that he thought Klingons #were basically savages - he is INDELICATE to say the least #Neelix is careful with his words bc he's a people pleaser for survival but also he has a tendency to bother people and be overly pushy #and I think he'd do a lot of research and be the one leading the conversation/the reason they get on the topic and continue on it #B'Elanna wouldn't want to talk about it. She wants to talk about it the least. But she must!!!! Bc the episode demands it!! #st voy

I’ve had some comments on my ‘please vote’ post, asking me to tell them who to vote FOR. Because you’re correct - I did not offer any strategy on specifics. (Because right now, we’re all voting within our own states, and I cannot possibly give you the rundown on EVERY SINGLE PERSON within your county/district.) 

But as someone who probably has at least a few younger people following me who may not have heard this yet, I will say: 

Vote for yourself. 

Don’t simply vote for who your parents praise the most, even if you think you agree politically. Go to https://www.vote411.org/ and look up candidates and read their websites and stances. 

Vote for others. 

Vote not for what would be best only for your well-off parents, but what would also be good for others in your community. You might think ‘why would I care about This Thing, I’m not personally affected by it. I don’t need public transportation, my family has 2 cars!’ Think about who might need that affordable railway. Think about why changes in the law are trying to be made and by whom. 

And last - vote godlessly. 

I know, I know, I’m a withered, jaded old atheist. But listen - I have no issue with faith. If it helps you, if it heals you, or sustains you, that’s swell. 

But remember that you share this country with people who are of various other faiths, and those who are faithless, and that this land was never meant to be a ‘Christian’ nation. 

No single religion owns the USA. Separating church and state is integral to fairness and equity. What you believe in, and how you conduct your personal life is your own business. But pushing the bible, or any other religious doctrine into government never ends well. 

Your relationship between you and your god is private, and should have no effect on how you vote. Voting is about building together a community that works for everyone, not just you. Laws are built not to signal your virtue to a deity, but to help bring about fairness and due process, to balance inevitable harm with available justice. 

#chekhov begs #us politics #usa #religion #idk man i just think that like #based on non religious and very factual statistical evidence #banning abortion is not actually pro life #because it actually ends in more death #literally there are studies and graphs about this #abortion is often a heavy topic and i will not make fun of it or lighten the weight of that decision #but that decision can only be made by a woman who is informed by a neutral and truthful healthcare provider #so lets not leave it up to some random dude who thinks he knows better

@lightandfellowship re: your tags on this post (just to kind of bring this out to a different post).

I was thinking about making a separate post to expand on those tags anyway because they were a little off topic to the op, but I was like, you know, it's that Xehanort was worse to the Dandelions than Luxu was, yes. But Luxu was supposed to be that callous to the Dandelions in the first place. He was supposed to think of them as tools and to just let whatever fucked up thing was supposed to happen to them just happen. And with anyone else he can, but he can't put his personal feelings aside enough to 'do what needs to be done' for this set of people alone.

But Xehanort can.

And I think that's really interesting when looking at Xehanort as the 'replacement Luxu.' Xehanort who, as observed by another post I don't have immediately to hand, speaks with MoM twice. Xehanort who is chosen by MoM and manipulated into doing his bidding the same way Luxu was, given the same coat and made the heir to Luxu's keyblade, Xehanort who actually is allowed to take action to bring the Keyblade War about and revive the Lost Masters while Luxu is only allowed to watch.

Actually I started this post with a different thesis ('Xehanort is able to put his personal feelings aside and be ruthless even where Luxu fails to follow his role') but writing that paragraph I've changed my mind actually. Because Luxu has basically no agency in this situation, whereas Xehanort does.

Like, both of them are assigned roles by their mentors but Xehanort isn't really given a road map about how to fulfill his role. He's being manipulated, sure, but he's also making choices himself all along. They're choices that are fucked up but he understands they're fucked up and is choosing them anyway because he strongly feels it's necessary for the greater good.

Luxu has been told these things are necessary for the greater good. He's been told what to do. He's been told to just watch and that he can never take action. He doesn't even have the illusion of agency that Xehanort, who is actively choosing to lean into his feeling that destiny is inevitable, does. What is that like, to live hundreds of years never having any sense of agency? For Luxu, helping the Dandelions is fucking up. It's doing what he knows he's not supposed to, what he's been told is against the Plan, but he has no agency and this is his little way of rebelling, even if this is, to us, the 'right' thing to do. There's a question of what actually is 'right' and 'wrong' here and whether Xehanort is a 'better Luxu' than Luxu for choosing to simply follow The Plan.

Also I'm rambling here but putting things together as I go, sorry to also expand on other tags on posts I reblogged from you lol, but like. Luxu also very clearly has Lucifer stuff going on, the same way Xehanort does, down to the name. Xehanort takes on the Satan imagery over time - but it was Luxu's first. And Luxu is the one who actually tried to rebel against his Creator by deviating from his role (only to watch) and intervening with the Union leaders.

The thing about angels is they are not, in Catholic traditions (I can't speak to other denominations) is that they are not supposed to have free will. Free will is for humans; angels only follow The Plan, with no agency or say in the matter. They're messengers and avatars created only to execute the will of God. The Foretellers seem to play this role, if you will, in relation to Master of Masters. He hands them roles to execute the plan he's already designed. If we're, in this analogy, considering Master of Masters to be in the role of 'god', both Ava and Luxu are ultimately fallen angels - they both question the will of their creator, both rebel - but Luxu rebelling was built into the plan. He is Lucifer, and Lucifer rebels, and so he was still allowed to come back to the fold at the end of kh3, having fulfilled his duty even considering his rebellion. He still had no agency in the end, even having done what he thought was exercising it by saving the Union leaders.

Anyway I'm just rambling on at this point and don't really have a conclusion to this but the whole interplay between Luxu and Xehanort, agency and servitude, angels and devils, light and dark, feels really compelling to me.

#not to be getting theological on main here either but also to do that #I have more than a decade of intense religious education and even though i no longer do organized religion like #it's a topic that kh seems to have a lot of themes kh engages with #Luxu #Xehanort

Like, uh, if someone is acting stupidly in a way that makes you wonder how they function on a basic level, it's probably not actually that they're that stupid, it's probably that they've put a tremendous emotional weight on top of something that's getting in the way of the point you're trying to make, and it's just too heavy for them to move it right now. Unfortunately, you won't be able to figure out what this is in every scenario, but it's almost certainly something beyond mere stupidity.

AND ANOTHER THING

God didn't destroy hell or the devil or turn him to dust. He gave us a choice. He let his fav literally choose to exist as the leader of Hell.

I find this interesting as a queer person who's been persecuted by God's fandom (in the USA at least)

Also can someone tell me which version of the bible I should read? the one with the sections about all the monsters and prophecies seems fun 👀

Moral Orel hit me in a sweet spot. I think it’s beautiful seeing fans on different paths discussing how the show touched them. I’ve seen people who’ve left the church, agnostics, atheists, and Christians all say the show spoke deeply to them. Of course the show’s black humor on religion offended many, especially before its last season aired, but I think the show’s resulting legacy - connecting to people who’ve both left and who’ve stayed - demonstrates successful nuance to how Moral Orel was crafted.

The show’s creators have said it’s not against religion per se, it’s against hypocrites. Even with the first season, I felt that and found appreciation (frankly, joy) for what was satirized. Here was a show speaking up, exaggerating, and lampooning the facets of Protestant American Christian culture I’ve vented about in confidence to relevant friends and family - without, like many modern shows which tackle this subject do, mocking followers themselves, faith itself, and suggesting to viewers one way of life is better than another, one group of people is (ex: intellectually) superior to another.

Some people have stepped away from Moral Orel and said, “This show comforted me when I left church,” or outright, “This show taught me there is no god.” And that’s not an unfair way to interact with Moral Orel because it doesn’t preach what you “should” do there (a sign of mature writing, really). I stepped away from Moral Orel and said, “This show comforted me in the areas I get frustrated,” which assuages my feelings and makes me more confident in my faith and place within culture.

I feel awkward in contemporary culture because I was raised with minimal secular exposure - daughter of a worship pastor, student at a private Christian school until high school. Meanwhile, in adulthood, I didn't attended church functions for over a dozen years. My group of friends have largely been non-Christians who hold negative opinions about the religion and don’t live remotely similar lifestyles to what I was raised with. I love what I've learned from them. Unfortunately, this also means the cultural building blocks that make me who I am seem shared by no one I'm around, which, even though I'm in my 30s, remains disorienting.

On the flipside, I'm the weirdo with the third eye in Christian spaces, too. I’m an ever-thirsty knowledge-seeker who strives to comprehend forbidden topics from all angles. I spent my twenties researching, questioning, rebuilding knowledge, and critically analyzing everything about the Bible. Church attendees and services feel painfully artificial, with mental blockers to topics I feel are critical to understand.

In either community I partake in, I feel “off.”

I’m grateful to have been raised by parents who didn’t pussyfoot around issues, with a father who deep-dives research. Discussions, delving, and digging into the hard stuff has always been fostered. My family spoke to pastors when we disagreed with their theology. I grew up around people who practiced passive acceptance, but my family was not that.

In the last year, I’ve returned more strongly to my faith and have been reintegrating with the Christian community. In some areas, my faith has grown and, humbly, I’ve learned much from peers. Despite stereotypes, I want to note that, in certain fields, the church community has always been deep and meticulous! And there are so many beautiful and uplifting areas in the church. But likewise there are those areas that get assumed, aren’t questioned, and aren’t… responded to well by questioning spirits. There have always been areas in the church culture I find disingenuous, foolish, illogical, limited, oversimplified, denialistic, or susceptible to hypocrisy and immorality. I’m not better than any person on this planet, but I’m rubbing shoulders with a community that has different blinders than I do, who don’t even consider asking the types of questions or seeking out the information I find necessary for a solidified faith.

Moral Orel disparages the toxic elements of Protestant culture, the misinterpretations, the artificial facades, the mindless assumptions, the poorly-hidden underbelly, all the areas Christian community can and does go wrong. It makes me feel justified feeling awkward in two worlds: someone for whom Christianity is deeply important, but someone whose mindset doesn’t jive with the rest of the town. Someone who can find and wants to find the best lessons outside of Christianity. Someone who believes in questioning, rethinking constantly, raising her eyebrows at common notions within church culture, and striving for the actual love, sincerity, dedication, and goodness our faith should be based on.

#Moral Orel #Christianity #religion #non-dragons #sad thing is this is the shortened version of my uh essay -_- #I suck at short so here's long! #I don't need to give MY LIFE STORY #or every grievance I have in church or my philosophy on what a Christian Should Know knowledge-wise #but yeah #instead of flinching at the hardest topics I believe in bludgeoning into them full force #aka #data and logic are made by God therefore #if God is true #I should be able to dive as deeply as I can into logic and come out the other side #faith isn't the same as data and I think Western culture gets that balance hella wrong #but faith isn't contradictory or trumped by it #anyway tags are getting off-topic #tldr love that Moral Orel is something that I can connect to #btw #there are so many beautiful beautiful things about the church which is why I love to be there #but of course there are those well-known elements that make me facepalm and I'm just talking about those #don't mean to portray the church incorrectly here either

To the anon who is struggling with their faith and identity, hi. I get you. I’m in the same boat in a lot of ways. (Discussion of anti-science rhetoric, lgbt-phobia, and conservative Christian stuff for anyone who doesn’t wanna read that)

I was raised Christian, and taught that evolution and the Big Bang were false. I was taught that dinosaurs were real and the earth was billions of years old, but we were still creationists.

I was also taught that being gay or trans was sinful and that gay marriage shouldn’t be legalized. My family was never outright hostile (my uncle is gay and we always loved him, even though “we just don’t agree with his decision” ugh), but clearly bigoted.

I was also raised in baptist churches, who absolutely love to quote the same three verses over and over in order to tell women (like myself) that our whole purpose is to shut up and bear children and take care of the house, that we are to obey our fathers and husbands in everything and cannot teach men at all. Fortunately my parents at least hated that BS, and after every sermon regarding that point my mom would lecture us that that was the only thing she disagreed with with our church, and that me and my sisters could be whatever we wanted to be. She continually pointed out the instances that contradicted what our churches had said about women’s roles.

When I went to college, I made friends, met people with wildly different backgrounds, and began to form my own opinions. I am a supporter of lgbt rights (I believe that there is strong evidence that wording was changed to condemn homosexuality, and that even if it’s a sin, we are called to love each other first and foremost, and that we cannot force our religious beliefs upon anyone else, and that respecting someone’s sexuality and pronouns is just basic fucking courtesy. I’ve even convinced my trump-supporting grandparents to use peoples preferred pronouns and respect gay marriages, with the logic that “you believe it’s sinful, but they don’t, and you can’t force your religious perspective on them. There is nothing loving about making them uncomfortable just because you disagree.”

I also strongly believe in scientific theories like evolution and the Big Bang. There’s plenty of evidence, and if you read genesis with fresh eyes it’s pretty clear to me it’s highly symbolic, not literal. I can believe God created the universe and that he did so through the Big Bang. I can believe God created humans in his image through the process of evolution.

As I was expanding and changing my worldview, I also realized that I was aroace. I’ve never been interested in dating, I don’t find men good looking at all, and my appreciation for women’s beauty is more similar to how someone would appreciate a painting, not someone they want to date or marry or have sex with.

And I don’t believe it’s a problem for me to stay single either. When I told my mom she immediately told me that the Bible says that singleness is, for many, a gift, and only a different path, not a wrong one.

I often don’t know what God’s intention is, but I do know that Christians are called to be the light of the world. So I will always be kind and loving, because that is how you be a light. I always pray for better understanding of how I should do things, but in the end the most important thing is to be kind.

Sorry if that was rambly, I just wanted to let you know that you aren’t alone in these struggles, and that you can believe different things without being a bad person. Personally, my family doesn’t know that I’m now fairly liberal and that I believe in evolution and the Big Bang and such, but I’m okay with that. If they find out, I’ll tell them more or less what I just said here. Best of luck to you and to anyone else in a similar situation 💛

Thanks for sharing, I’m sure this will be helpful for a lot of people.

I've been reading a bunch of HASO content recently. Human babel-fish ... they can understand anything being said after short amounts of time but can't respond correctly because they can't say the phonics. Human experts - I know this topic 100% and can talk about it until your eyes bleed. What is that? *shrug*

I am confused but I've worked with less. This is Humans are Space Orcs, but the alien deity culture is just nerd geekery to humans, who have already memorized several hundred pages worth of alien lore in a day.

"What do you mean I'm wrong about my religion, it's literally ingrained in us since our birth from the pods!?"

"No, you see, according to your entire extraterrestrial Noimek bible or something, to live with your pods is life, but to bring your pods with you... That's worship! By finding us, and casting yourselves to exile of your home planet, you've done the greatest worship of all to your travelling God, and he is still with you."

The Noim's heart rose, as did xher crew. They weren't sinners against the Traveler, but worshippers of the highest form. "Pray tell, little brother, how did you come to this insight?"

"Trust me, while this seems convoluted, you should see what humans came up for religion. At least this actually rewards you for your faith, what with you being taller and more confident-y in your stance."

The Noimek didn't even realize it, but they've shed their sickly weak exoskeleton and now stood proud as the proper explorers they were. Their faith freed them from the confines of a sick and weak body, as their brains unlocked their growth.

"I thank you, little brother."

(I don't know if you're comfortable answering this, but it's just something I've been noticing through your norway) your norway doesn't have the hair cross pin clip, and if I where to take a guess it's because most norwegians tend to keep their religion private? also since norway is a really including country in today's day and age, and he is supposed to represent the people, I don't think he would wear the hair cross, (also I don't really know how the goverment would feel if a man like him wore a hairclip to important meetings, cross or not, but that's a topic for another time😅) I don't mind him being christian even though I am non religious myself, it makes sense with our history, (and apparently I've heard it's a stereotype in denmark that norwegians are highly christian🫣) but I don't think he would scream it out to the world or make a statement that he is christian, and that includes not wearing a cross. I mean...remember when a certain politician wore a cross around her neck just to make a political statement and everyone went crazy? *ehem ehem* l i s t h a u g

Yes, you've described it very well here! Not drawing the cross hair clip has been a very conscious choice on my part, and it's mostly due to these reasons you mention. Scandinavia in general is one of the least religious regions in the world, and it really would make no sense for Norway to wear a cross on him at all times. As you said; religion is a very private subject in Norway and very separated from daily life. I don't know a single person who goes to church, and most people I know who would define themselves as christian are only christian in the sense that "yeah, there might be a god out there somewhere". Religion is not really something we talk about because it's such a small part of our lives. People don't really flaunt their religion here, people don't wear crosses on them, and many are not religious at all (myself included).

In addition; the Christianity here is also deeply infused with old pagan religious practices and the introduction of Christianity has always been done in a way to control people. We have many instances of bishops being sent to "correct the pagans", and then people playing along but still doing "pagan shit" in secret or indoctrinating it as a part of the christian practices. This is probably where the Danish impression of Norway comes from too? Denmark forced protestantism on Norway while Norway wanted to remain catholic, where it was more room for pagan traditions (but a lot of these were still kept).

I hope my Norway is still recognizable as himself without the cross hair pin ✨

HI GUYS this was a long time comin'

I give you the humanoid form of The Celestial Mother, herself - Lady Tiamat!

This is the Mother of the Mist and ruler / creator of the heavens and skies themselves. Sister to Lord Bahamut, she exists within the space of the Holy Blade - The Maken.

She was placed within the Maken by the original children of Creation and Destruction to assist with the battle against Chaos. Currently she shares the space of a body within her vessel, and the champion of her blade - Valkoinen Pilvi; the Unlimited of Salvation.

Tiamat's wings aren't always present in her humanoid form. She can "store" them within her body so they aren't in the way and they become the markings on her back. Long in the future these wings were tattoo'ed on the back of her vessel in order to mark them as the one bestowed with her power.
