The Language of God - Francis S. Collins

Francis Collins worked as the head of the Human Genome Project and has a passion for using science and mathematics to understand our world better. He is also an atheist-turned-believer and knows many other scientists of faith.

In this book, Collins discusses the compatibility of science and faith. He tackles arguments from atheists who reject faith on a scientific basis, and he debunks arguments from people of faith who feel the need to reject scientific truths in order to uphold their religious beliefs. Many of the viewpoints are ones I have encountered before and even considered for myself at one point or another, and I think the arguments Collins makes for and against them are well worth considering.

I already have too many irons in the fire currently, but an interaction earlier prompts me even the more towards beginning on a book that God has had before me.

I was at Aldi earlier for an in and out run and passed this sister who came also looking in the section I was. I went elsewhere trying to find my item. Aldi is a small store, so we ended waiting in line together -- me after her. I exchanged words with this older guy behind me while I moved towards the assembly belt to place my stuff down. I'm standing there waiting, and me and the sister caught eyes while she stood at the register.

I'm well-acquainted with women, so I understood or recognized the interest. I guess she liked what she saw, and she was attractive too. But what stuck with me was she had that same look in her eyes that informs one with careful eyes that some hurt has occurred in her life. It was the same look I was familiar with from one I was dealing with for years.

I wanted to just become acquainted and just be a friend to her just off the strength of concern and care. So after paying for my stuff, I turned and asked her, "You need some help with all that." She said, "No, I'm fine" (something to that extent), so I turned and walked away. She could have been in a relationship, or whatever and I wasn't trying to get to know her romantically, so I didn't push it.

It bothered me afterwards because I'm sure it was for her to give that response to not seem easy, desperate, show her hand, or whatever -- the cat and mouse between a woman and man who are strangers before becoming acquaintanted. But, at times I can be "no nonsense" and I honestly wasn't trying to come off as if I was interested in that way -- romantically.

Anyhow, I believe women HAVE to come off so guarded because of their past -- past relationship, past hurt, past experiences, whatever. It's for me to write on that, because this matter of giving your heart or playing Russian roulette with your heart, is NOT how God designed this. God did not design for us to play trial and error with our heart like that, and I'm gone write on it just as he's given me. 🙏

When God Winks at You - SQuire Rushnell

A collection of short, true stories of God-sent coincidences and timely answered prayers. There's some lighthearted ones and some heavier emotional ones and some that could even be called miraculous! I kept it on my nightstand and read one or two stories each morning, and I found it a very encouraging reminder of how God is present in our lives in both the little things and the big things.

"Dear God, I cannot love Thee the way I want to. You are the slim crescent of a moon that I see and my self is the earth's shadow that keeps me from seeing all the moon."

Ultrakill: Suffering Leaves Suffering Leaves

I have to talk about why the name of this song in the violence level is so clever!

CW: Suicide Mention, Religious Talk, Violence

MAJOR ULTRAKILL SPOILERS

So during the violence layer we come across the suffering trees of the labyrinth, and it's paired with the melancholy song Suffering Leaves Suffering Leaves.

This song is not alone in its melancholy undertones, but it sticks out due to its title, and a background themes of suicide strewn throughout the game, but especially its intro.

We start of the level in complete silence.

The trees demand violence in the form of blood ,summoning silhouettes made of blood to fight, in the form of people writhing and stumbling about in an attempt to fight you.

After feeding the trees they become imbued with blood and sprout leaves, while the song slowly kicks in.

Then we get the level name: No Sound, No Memory

The trees after being fed resemble a the human figure being impaled, their blood becoming a beautiful canopy. You don't think much of it and continue to stumble around in almost complete darkness, catching only the bright white roots and bramble of a dense forest.

Now... Have you heard of Dante's Inferno?

Assuming you haven't Dante's Inferno is a famous Christian poem where an Italian guy depicts hell level by level in order to roast his least favorite people of that time. In doing so Dante accidentally created the most detailed and references description of hell, in which many traits have become excepted in the canon interpretation of Christian hell.

One of the layers he comes across is Violence.

And one of the places he comes across there is a murky woods, based in the violence against one's self.

The woods of suicides... punishment of suicide being separated from one's body for all eternity and tormented outside it.

Dante waltzes around this forest discovering that the dead souls of the unfortunate who have committed suicide are encapsulated in the bramble, bushes, and trees of the forest.

There is something still human to these trees as described by Dante. Painters have interpreted this in many ways, leaving the trees in a somewhat humanoid shape, showing faces of agony or splayed arms protruding from bark...

In Dante's poem he writes of harpys plucking and eating the leaves of the suffering trees, where they cry out and plead for the rest of hell's years, unable to even move.

So the Ultrakill forest and the song

I can only imagine the amount of people who simply ended themselves during the end of the world as they know it in ultrakill, unable to take anymore of the senseless violence they themselves inherently created.

To become exactly as Dante warned, nothing more but suffering leaves. Sad, melancholy suffering leaves.

As suffering in this world left nothing for them but eternal suffering.

The setting: Me at work, reading a book about Pluto* to my students

1st Grade 3: Where did the planets in our solar system come from?

Me: *explaining in kid language about the sun's accretion disk*

2nd Grade 3: No, it was God! God make the planets! >:(

Me: *makes direct eye contact with the Grade 3 teacher, who looks equally uncomfortable and tense* Well, different people believe different things. This is what scientists say happened.

* The book, "Pluto! Not a Planet? Not a Problem!", is part of a fantastic nonfiction series about our solar system that I highly recommend:
