Okay here’s another Religious Hob post (because that’s apparently my niche, not that I’m complaining at all):
I don’t think Hob has given up his religion. And I could end the post there, because for those who grew up religious or have found a true faith in religion, my point has already been made. But I won’t, because I know most of us don’t fall into either of those categories, so here’s what my true point is: people who truly have faith, a blind, all-encompassing, trusting, and deep faith don’t give up on their religion. Anyone who has ever talked to a Jehovah’s Witness can attest to this; religious people are stubborn as fuck. And this comes from the very essence of what faith is; it doesn’t need proof. It’s a blind leap into a veiled chasm with only the word of an invisible entity to rely on that you will be caught at the bottom. If Hob was truly religious (which I think he was), then his blind faith, combined with his indomitable stubbornness, means that he hasn’t let go of a religious conviction even once in his life. The man cannot do it. Even in the face of every awful thing that has happened to him and those around him, his faith would’ve been a constant. He is convinced that he is going to heaven, that his everlasting devotion to the Almighty will grant him peace and perfection at the end of it all, whenever that may be.
And you know what? He’s probably right! The Creator exists in the DC universe; Dream mentions them in episode 4! God exists, Lucifer exists, Hell exists, so Heaven must exist too, right (logically, anyway)? And while Hob doesn’t need any reassurance (that’s how faith works) that his devotion will pay off, can you imagine how overjoyed he would be when Dream told him about the Creator, about the Creator’s absolute existence? He’s never had doubts, not enough to lose his faith, and with knowledge like that, he never will either. So no, I don’t think Hob ever lost his religion, I think he’s stubbornly and faithfully clung to it, knowing that all good things in his life have come from his inability to give up on them
#yet another religious Hob post#is anyone surprised? you shouldn’t be#this one might be controversial because non-religious people can’t fathom having that much faith in something that intangible#hell I can’t fathom it#I mean kudos to Hob but couldn’t be me#I admire his dedication though#he’s the most stubborn motherfucker on this planet#and that extends to his religion as well#we have to remember that God exists in this universe!#and maybe it’s not a christian God but it is a God nonetheless#the existence of every God at once does not diminish the exiestence of a christian God#if that makes sense#because we see other pantheons in the comics#but that doesn’t mean that the christian God doesn’t exist#or that He is any less worthy of worship because of the other Gods#Hob can and will overcome the existential crisis that will come from this cosmic knowledge#and then he will continue to practice his faith like normal#secure in the knowledge that his faith is his own and the other Gods don’t matter to him or influence him#in the most respectful way possible#the sandman#sandman netflix#hob gadling#dream of the endless#morpheus#dreamling#is this dreamling? probably not lmao
