15 year old monk whispering "do i lust for men?" and then flipping to a random page in the bible to see what it says = medieval equivalent of modern "am i gay quiz"
bibliomancy is alive and well in the 21st century. St Augustine rolling in his grave.
i just saw a post that was like "i would cannibalize gods rotting corpse" and i can see and empathize with how you might write a poem on this website but truth be told if i saw gods rotting corpse i would go eww ewwwwwww ewwwwwww ew ew ew ew ew and honestly as an ex catholic i have seen it a lot and eaten it a lot and it was kinda nastyy in a bad way. i once got a lecture at school for chewing it with my mouth open.
Christian transphobia is so funny sometimes
Surely no one in the bible ever changes their name and identity to live a more fulfilling life
"Pandemonium" always seemed excessive to me. Like. All of them?
"Folks the air in the stadium is electric tonight, it is Every Single Demon."
this feels like a sensitivity training for how to not commit micro aggressions against vampires in your workplace
posts that are poems to me
on your belly you shall go and dust you shall eat all the days of your life, you said to me but the man and his wife returned me my feet with the knowledge i did sow
Look at this! Look at my mutual!
This is glorious. Almost all of the same text was preserved, but it was structured in a way that A). Reveals more of genesis. B). Has an ABCDCBA rhyming structure, which is like... the chiasmus of rhymes. And chiasmus is like, one of the only poetic structures that is actually preserved through the funhouse of translation layers that the bible has suffered. C). The syllable counts match in each thing as well, just as a flex. D). The poem is comparing man to God, and the D line is structured so that the comparison happens over that line, and it's... I don't know what the word for it would be. It is just really, really fucking clever to have a mirror point in a poem that's essentially about comparisons.
Just. Holy shit.
Hey. Hey. Watch the video.
That is absolutely not what I expected the video to be like
"and this is a fish abandoned by god"
I may have, uh. Gone through your entire #religion tag? and wrote down a bunch of quotes from you to organize into something resembling a poem? because that’s clearly a very normal thing to do (/s)
I literally spent the entire day on this help
I have no intention of sharing it anywhere but I figured I might as well let you know if it’s something you’d be interested in seeing
Yes??? Definitely. Omg
EVERYBODY GO READ THIS it's a summary poem and its so great
This is still my favorite thing ever
im not christian but i do believe in the power of prayer. for this reason i keep a little homonculus in a dog crate under my bed which i have raised as a devout catholic. whenever i want something in my life to change i poke him with a stick and he clasps his grubby little paws together and starts chanting in latin. his prayers always go through because he has never known sin
