genuinely I think one of the most pressing calls for Christians (namely Protestant Christians) today is to stop underestimating the power of beauty

visual beauty, beauty in word, beauty in sound, beauty in story

we have ceded beauty for the past 70 years to the atheistic world and people of all beliefs are realizing that world has failed to carry that standard. people are realizing their daily lives are starved of beauty--especially natural beauty--so they are turning to the entities which recognize its power. entities like paganism, witchcraft, ancestor worship, the New Age. if they are drawn to Christianity (not necessarily believing it), they are more likely to attend a Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox mass.

humans need beauty because humans need God, and beauty belongs to God. which means the church should be the standard-bearer of beauty in this world.

if a church can afford it, they should prioritize building a beautiful church, even if that means it will be smaller or less trendy.

if a church has skilled musicians in their midst, they should prioritize using those musicians in worship, even if it means the style of the music changes.

the church should always prioritize hymns and spiritual songs which exemplify goodness, truth, and beauty in their composition and lyrics, even if it means newcomers don't understand every line yet.

all these forms of beauty should reflect the beauty of the story of the Gospel.

some quotes to further persuade you:

Follow-up to this post from yesterday: I made it through the surgery! Had something of a rough time in recovery, as my body is not used to narcotics/anesthesia, but very happy that I got to go home last night and didn't have to stay over at the hospital. Also incredibly relieved to report that they didn't have to remove one of my ovaries! I was so afraid of surgery for a long time, but I am beyond grateful that every nurse and team member was so kind and professional and answered all of my questions. I don't think I fully processed everything that happened until today, as I did not cry once yesterday, but I did finally cry this afternoon. Feeling sore right now and standing up from sitting is nothing less than an exercise in masochism, but so, so happy with how well things went. And my absolute heartfelt thanks to everyone who left such encouraging, kind comments on my other post--it means more than you could ever possibly know... ❤️

I want to ask why is Moon a nun? Mostly I know it’s cuz she’s using it as a mask but how does she get the idea to be one? Does she have family who are religious?

I've mentioned it before but in the US in some (deeply) red states there are laws on the books that prohibit single women living together past like 4 roommates, because the state then qualifies that as a brothel. This rule does not apply to nuns. Thus Moon gets to have like 6 roommates and split the mortgage on a giant house 7 ways as long as they all pretend to be a convent of nuns. This is also a great cover for their moonshine operation because all the money collected for liquor sales gets laundered through the "church" as donations.

On a more OC note: Moon was raised in Tennessee and the gang doesn't really know much past that. Soap knows she definitely isn't Catholic, and she doesn't seem to have a problem helping out the local church, but she also doesn't come off as all that religious. She doesn't talk about her family, but does talk about her rebellious phase(that never left) which has certain connotations.

In my own little character analysis, I think Moon probably grew up in an abusive household, maybe not physical but definitely emotionally/psychologically. She has a lot of extreme self doubt for someone who doesn't give that impression, and her hyper-independence is a red flag that something definitely happened to her. Religion might have factored into that, which makes her choice to masquerade as a nun even more of a "fuck you" to whatever powers that be.

Idk, honestly for all of Moon's personality and character she's a very blank slate. She has whatever past you want her to have.
