As I grow older and develop a more nuanced understanding of my own faith and faith in general, "turtles all the way down" seems less and less an easily refutable belief to me.

A younger me would just point it out as wrong because it was ridiculous to me. All the while ignoring or giving ample room for interpretation the things that are weird or ridiculous at a glance in my own faith traditions.

If I were to give the same metaphorical and culturally contextual grants to 🐢 🐢 ♾️ as the Christian creation myths I might say something like the following. 🐢 🐢 ♾️ is a great way to explain that the world is held up by something both beyond our comprehension and very much alive with a will of its own.

I think the point of this post is perhaps to condemn the practice of finding someone else's beliefs strange (which is fine and normal in and of itself) but then writing it off because it's ridiculous (bad faith and wrong). Christians and others need to be better at good faith examinations of other religions, eagerly looking for nuggets of truth. Just as Christians look in the Bible for nuggets of truth about people and God in the sometimes factual, sometimes embellished, sometimes entirely metaphorical word of God.

Lest we one day find ourselves suddenly aware of the ridiculousness of our own faith traditions and struggling to reconcile our beliefs because we are so used to writing ridiculous things off as false.

The Death of Jesus in Context

As we move through the story of Jesus’s death and on to resurrection, we return to the primary themes of this Lenten blog series on “Creation, Cross, and the Powers.” This story is often told as if it all took place removed from the context of both creation and the powers. It is treated not as a story that we can relate to in terms of what is going on in the world today, but as a required dogma…

"Did you, uh... ever meet him?"

"Yes. Seemed a very bright young man. I showed him all the kingdoms of the world."

"Why?"

"He's a carpenter from Galilee. His travel opportunities are limited. [...] That's got to hurt. What was it he said that got everyone so upset?"

"'Be kind to each other.'"

"Oh, yeah. That'll do it."

#as funny as this dialogue is #the “be kind to each other” “yeah that'll do it” part is a summary of every faith crisis I have #you would think that religious people are kind to each other #mostly that's not the case #tell them to be kind and they'll be aggravated as if you personally insulted them #good omens #fanart #traditional #crowley #david tennant #aziraphale #michael sheen

I remind myself of these 4 things every morning:

1. Women should always aim to be refined, polite, and well-spoken.

2. Arch your spine and your shoulders back. This is good posture.

3. A lady should not swear, and gossip is a sin. Remember those two things always.

4. Humility is one of the most attractive traits a woman can have.

Do I think it’s a shame that, even though the circumstances in which we obtain this weapon suggest it might be hers, we never see Faith use the Sin Eater?

Yes, a little bit.

#finally! (relatively) new art!#I spent so much time on the gun :’)#for the dress I drew the lace patterns separately a while ago so I just reused that #I do the same thing for john’s coat #far cry 5 #faith seed #sin eater #I’ve already mentioned this but #while she doesn’t really need a gun and I’m not sure she used one during the fight #the fact we get it the same way we obtain affirmation and jacob’s rifle can mean it was hers #my art #fan art #traditional art #digital coloring #drawn in july 2023
