ok so
ive been thinking about this for a while but how exactly the fuck does this whole belief to god system work here anyway
i mean we have gods here that nobody except ancient history nerd basement cultists should be worshipping
riding high when some of the big names are spectacular only in their absence
and then theres the question of what bar you have to pass to be considered a god
like where the fuck are our incarnations of the flying spaghetti monster and ceiling cat
or less tragically dated memes
come on people they have religious texts too

[He's been relearning meme culture since he rediscovered it, someone stop him.]

i guess im not that faithful a person because the whole thing seems like grade a spun bullshit to me
but maybe someone can make more sense out of this most gordian of knots

discuss

would jesus be considered a god though
wasnt that half the point of him
that he was mortal enough to die for our sins and then immediately gets respawned because this fakeout death cliche shit is so much older than modern hollywood

we were given a role that was apparently taken by a more equipped candidate before us
for that role to even be a thing thats a thing the gods need to exist in the first place for us to take over for
unless youre suggesting some serious toke up and ride on down the rabbit hole conspiracy shenanigans in which case go on

Well, that depends on who you ask. The Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost. The Trinity, or whatever you want to call them. Depends on your denomination.

If you're asking if I believe in God and Gods, I'm actually going to say I'm not sure. I used to think not but recent events at home have had me doubting a lot of things. So, no answer there.

What I do believe is that we were given a role, and I'm inclined to believe that we were picked more or less at random. Definitely not because we're more equipped than the real thing. But because they're desperate, perhaps?

[redotiertwo]

yeah see im not big enough on religion to get right down into the nuts and bolts like that
someone can send me denominational cliffs notes if they want to have that argument

fair enough its a personal question
but yeah i dont think anyone could assume anything but random selection with the span of people we have here
i mean theyve picked obvious supervillianous sorts who turned on the heavens to the surprise of fuck nobody at least once so

[adventurology]

It all boils down to minor things, and whether or not you like the Pope.

Not just supervillainous types, but I've seen a small child or two running around with godlike powers. That will never not feel wrong to me. But it will feel desperate.

[redotiertwo]

sure sounds like religion to me

yeah that too
that
is worrying for a variety of reasons
i remember toting around some kid during that freak picnic fire and even if she was surprisingly chill it was not a good feeling

[adventurology]

Yep. That's religion for you.

It shouldn't be a good feeling.
Children do not belong in a war zone, a carnival filled with the dead, or fighting Japanese demons.

Even if they are perfectly capable of it, sometimes.

[redotiertwo]

i mean yeah this kid was right into the firefighting thing

seeing it laid out like that though
things really have been a shitshow here lately havent they
i mean before that it was that sack of dicks demon and the poor fucks in the town it trashed
dont even know how many we managed to save then

[adventurology]

Better not to think about what you couldn't manage, and be grateful for what you could do.

One of the hardest truths for anyone, but especially kids.

[redotiertwo]

easier to say that than to actually think it isnt it
you can be cool with what you did do all you like but youre still always gonna have that what if

[adventurology]

Believe me when I say that I know.

[redotiertwo]

yeah
i get the feeling way more people here know than deserve to

[adventurology]

It's entirely true.

I'm Lara, by the way. Lara Croft. The current Athena.

[redotiertwo]

cool
im davesprite obviously
shinki to neith also known as hajime ichinose also known as the closest thing to a ray of sunshine you can get without literal rays of sunshine being involved
also exemplar i guess but i dont think anyone really gives a fuck about that generally speaking

[adventurology]

I'm not actually sure what that means.
But I have seen Hajime Ichinose around the network.
My Shinki that isn't one of the soulless is Felicia, if you've run across her.

[redotiertwo]

first shinki pretty much
if you have multiple shinki the exemplars kinda like the boss shinki
i think
that name isnt familiar but ill keep an eye out for her
