komaeda wouldnt be catholic he would be gnostic christian i refuse to believe in a context where he is christian specifically that he wouldn’t believe there is a lesser god (which is in control of reality and is despair) compared to the true god that is a personification of the abstract (hope) and quite literally unfathomable. sorry i feel really strongly about philosophy and that’s tied heavily into religion due to metaphysics so i had to say it

that's fair. i just went catholic for the aesthetics

Hermanubis or Abraxas or ? (a Roman limestone relief) [3rd century AD] by Peter Via Flickr: Hermanubis or Abraxas or ? (a Roman limestone relief) [3rd century AD] - Christie's A wolf- (or dog-)headed deity on this Roman limestone relief from the 3rd century AD, depicting some form of offering scene. A syncretic, hybridised deity, taking up characteristics from different deities: a wolf head, crowned with sheaves of wheat, and holding a key, the snake-like legs perhaps more an indicator of the cosmic warrior god Abraxas (but Abraxas is usually represented with the head of a lion or cock, together with sword and shield) the rest of the god is human, clothed in animal skin; in his right hand, he holds a key, and in his left hand, a caduceus and sheaves of wheat (the caduceus is an attribute of Mercury, together with the ram depicted on the left), and also some 'poppies' (healing quality? pain reliever ! hypnotic !). A bearded man kneeling at the right, presenting a loaf of bread on an offering table, its support with a lion head and a feline paw. Finally we do not know what kind of deity we are dealing with here: wheat, key, caduceus, poppies,... - does seem to be rather benign: fertility and prosperity? and the offering is also rather harmless: a load of bread. And it seem to be unkown where the stele was found). Text modified after Ralph Haussler: Wolf & Mythology ralphhaussler.weebly.com/wolf-mythology-italy-greek-celti...

Benefits of Belonging to the illuminati

It is no coincidence that all world leaders have vast networks of wealth. There are no poor kings, queens, or presidents. Even the pontiffs are richer than most on this planet. The lack of need for money removes many of its threats: someone with wealth costs more to bribe than someone else, and this financial clarity is necessary to effectively manage your planet.

Have you ever seen the show Revolutionary Girl Utena, and if so, thoughts?

Hmmm, funny you should mention that. I haven't seen it and don't plan to – it's got a few too many squicks for me – but I've read some meta. I don't think I can say I know it well enough to really talk about, though.
