"Barry, a former federal judge and prosecutor, was selected by President Ronald Reagan to serve on the Federal District Court in New Jersey in 1983. She was subsequently nominated by President Bill Clinton to the 3rd Court of Appeals in 1999 and retired in 2019.

Her retirement came amid an investigation into whether she violated judicial conduct rules by committing tax fraud following reporting from The New York Times that alleged the former president and his siblings utilized tax schemes to inflate their inheritances."

✝️ PRIEST RUKI MUKAMI HEADCANONS ✝️

“Such an irrational world we live in, revering the Gods for their saving grace. But they’re all wrong—all so horribly mistaken. Only humans are to blame for their own misfortune, only humans can wallow in their own evil and corruption. After all, if your so-called ‘God’ existed… Then why won’t he save you now? Ah, that’s right��God never existed anyway.”

🛐 As revealed in the games themselves, Ruki previously adhered to the religious practices of his original family as a human child, celebrating holidays such as as Christmas and even going as far as to pray before a special meal. Contrary to the translation of his current last name, “Godless” or “without/no god,” one would be remiss in assuming he always upheld atheist ideals.

🛐 Ironically enough, his priesthood only confirms the Vampire’s lack of faith. The not-so-divine envoy holds gatherings in a secluded chapel, sanctuary to those seeking to scrutinize the Bible through the lens of literary analysis akin to any other scholarly work. Aside from its religious context, Priest Ruki deems the Bible a text rich with narrative style and allegorical elements the likes of which few modern compositions can ever mirror.

🛐 Not only has he memorized every single verse, both in the Old and New Testaments, but also Ruki has committed every translation of the Bible to memory since they all differ drastically in their poetic value. Personally, his focus lies within the realms of the book of Genesis, particularly centered around the captivating tale of Adam and Eve—as well as the mesmerizing influence exerted upon them by the cunning serpent.

🛐 Despite how impartial he is to any deity in general, Priest Ruki somehow manages to captivate any congregation to whom he preaches, likening the story of Adam and Eve, the serpent’s deceit, and their exile from Eden to contemporary life that all individuals deeply relate to on some level or another. When he speaks of how the serpent tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit in particular, there is this subtle yet undeniable hint of nostalgia in his eyes, almost as if he has experienced the tribulation of the snake who was forced to crawl on its belly and eat dust for the remainder of its existence.

🛐 Much like the cunning serpent, Ruki was once viewed as a mere tool used by a higher yet external force to carry out his agenda. In hindsight, one could argue the serpent, too, was manipulated, similarly to the naïve and gullible Eve. Despite being known for its knowledge, wisdom, and ultimately the facilitation of profound change, it undoubtedly had its faults; a sentiment Ruki resonates with even in the role of a Priest.

🛐 After every sermon, Ruki might invite you to stay a while longer in the chapel to confess what plagues your mind to him, akin to the catalyst of growth that the serpent once was. In spiritual guidance, after all, there is growth to be discovered in oneself. By listening to and allaying your worries, the seemingly gentle Priest convinces you to confide in him.

🛐 However, not once does he advocate for God or a higher being. His guidance is sincere and considerate for each predicament, exuding unwavering dependability in each counsel and piece of advice provided to the churchgoer.

🛐 Given his natural charm and reliability, eventually the Priest convinces you to partake in a baptism, the ultimate ritual of “purification.” The supposed forgiveness of one’s sins, the washing away of every impurity.

🛐 Before submerging you in the water, however, Ruki gives almost too sinister of a smile unfitting of any priest, betraying any of his earlier guidance, and most importantly of all, belying his true nature.

🛐 It’s as though he is a little too excited to convert you into a full-fledged member of his church.

🛐 The aquatic embrace of the baptism begins weigh upon you longer than necessary, suffocating you as a calloused hand presses down on your chest, immobilizing you as Ruki discloses a confession of his own to you.

🛐 “Everything I have accomplished and obtained for myself… Those were no miraculous work of God. No, those were all earned through my own merit. No amount of preaching, believing, or even praying can improve your wretched existence. All the confessions…? All the sermons? Just a ploy to purify you as my Livestock, lesser still a human. Yes, struggle and resist all you’d like… It only excites me more.”

🛐 Abruptly, Ruki raises you from the water to reveal the full extent of his true self as a demon of the night rather than an envoy of the divine as his fangs find purchase in your moistened shoulder.

🛐 Cloying ichor cascades from the newly inflicted punctures marring your once unblemished flesh, much to Ruki’s satisfaction as he lodges himself deeper with a pleased grunt.

🛐 Atramentous, plumose wings that parallel the darkness of his tormented soul seemingly sprout from his back as he tears into the sweet adipose. Rather than a purification, it is exactly the opposite; Ruki taints you as his own, dragging you down to the depths of Hell in your agony rather than the ethereal heights of paradise.

🛐 One curious quality his bites and his sermons share in common is that it invites and beguiles you for more, just like the serpent of Eden, just like the forbidden fruit enticed Eve. And, likewise, your blood allures Ruki with each vehement descent of his sharp fangs.

🛐 With each punishment, with each draining of your life essence, Ruki reiterates that no higher deity can rescue you from this fate in the “church.” Every day, he sees to it that you care for the anything but sacred place of worship, and little do the regular churchgoers realize, there is someone amongst their ranks being sacrificed daily.

🛐 Behind a gentle and soothing smile lurks the pearlescent daggers that pierce into you every night, spilling said sacrifice, tempting you to such an extent that would make Eve’s betrayal look like a mere, second-guessed impulse.

“Repent for your sins, Livestock, for they will only accumulate.”

I'm. Ok so Lucifer and Chuck's relationship is sending me absolutely bonkers insane.

"You were my father, and you forsook me."

"I did. I was supposed to love all of creation equally. I wasn't supposed to have favourites. But you...

You were Mine.

I gave you the mark because I loved you the most. Because I thought you were strong enough to bear it. And when I saw that I was wrong, when I watched my choice, devour my.. most cherished son- I hated myself. And so I punished you.

And I am so, sorry."

I’m truly sorry your humanity is so far gone that you genuinely believe genocide is not only justified but should be the moral response to any perceived oppression but literally no one asked you and we don’t fucking care.

Scrolling through social media, and I'm seeing all these perfect nice white Christian families putting up their Christmas trees and getting into the festive and holiday mood, but then I scroll a little down their blog and they are just plastering "We stand with Israel!" "Donate here to support Israel" everywhere....

and I can feel my heart shattering to pieces. I'm not Christian, I'm not claiming to be. I'm Muslim, but I know Jesus (peace be upon him) too, and I know basic religion facts and I am constantly BAFFLED by these "Good Christian Families"

What do you mean you are encouraging the killing of your brothers and sisters of faith? What do you mean you want to continuously feed money to the people destroying your holy land? What do you mean you are backing up the slaughter and destruction of the people living on the land Jesus came from?

What do you mean- you are so brainwashed by this Western media that you have turned your back on Christians in Palestine pleading begging for your help, while you shake hands with the enemy?

How could you celebrate Christmas while helping to annihilate your own people?

How could you enter a church while churches are constantly bombed in Palestine?

How could you pick up a Bible and read it while Christians in Palestine are being slaughtered like animals?

How could you sit at your fancy little table, giving prayer or blessings and then CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AND GIVE MONEY to the IDF and Israel- this genocidal regime that is trying to terminate YOUR people and destroy YOUR holy land and flood it with their sins?

How could you even utter Jesus' name (peace be upon him) while supporting these crimes? How could you even say to follow Jesus's faith (peace be upon him) when you have the blood of Palestine on your hands? The blood of HIS home land?

okay but the first few days of the three year trip must have been *rough*

like imagine your planet is destroyed, your guardian dies, *you* die at least once and you have to destroy your entire universe because a ridiculously powerful dog-man tried to kill you and everyone in it - all in the span of 24 hours*

and then you go from literally fighting for your life to just. sitting there. waiting. three years with nothing to do but think about how fucked up all that was

(*more if youre dave)

the show: explicitly calls the exterminations a gen/cide and has charlie say her parents dreams got passed down to her in ep 1. shows the exterminations have to be kept secret in heaven bc most people would be horrified by them. this fandom: charlie has no motivation to open the hotel shes such a shallow character theres nothing driving her!

Okay but it would be cool if that war Fukuchi received warning about actually happened. Like he received a warning and was scheming this whole mess of a situation to stop it but what if that exact plan of his is precisely what leads to the conflict? What if the warning was sent as a desperate hope that something would change, that he'd make a better plan... but no. It was always going to happen. There was no escape. Ever.

Disclaimer - Religion & Faith - Christianity - God & Jesus 🙏

False idols and fake gods will not save an individual from the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Regardless of how strongly one places their faith in these idols and gods these are merely things and they cannot do anything for anyone, they are constructs and not real but the Lord is real and he lives even now. Jesus saves, he redeems, he wipes away our tears of sorrow and replenishes our spirit. The Holy Spirit replaces our sinful nature guiding us in the right direction and our arrogance and pride cannot exist in the presence of the Lord for he is the truth and only trust can exist before him no matter how much a person lies to themselves and chooses to believe in falsehood the truth always comes to light. The Lord shows us how to live a life of mercy, love and compassion. The Lord also has little patience for mockery. Those who mock the Lord God and his son end up being made a mockery of and their suffering will be great until they realise Jesus is the only one that can save them. The only one that guarantees a place in the book of ever lasting life is Jesus, no other gods or demons can stand before him without trembling in fear. When the time comes and this world mercilessly tries to convince me I'm wrong to have faith in jesus I will say I do not care for lies and I will not be swayed or manipulated into turning against my lord. To turn away from him and pretend that I do not know him is the worst kind of betrayal. If I am to die one day because I have faith then so be it, there are worse things than death.

I usually don't talk about religion on the internet because people like to hate and cause drama but I refuse to hide my faith and I refuse to let anyone control my speech when it comes to the love I have for the Lord. I wasn't born Christian. I recently got baptized a year ago but since then my entire life has changed for the better. I was a witch, a practitioner of the occult and esoteric arts. I was also a pagan but I was born anew and the demons and anger have left me. They'll torment me over and over in different ways to come between me and God but they won't succeed. I was lost but not anymore. No curse or demon can touch a child of God, unless he allows them in order to teach us a lesson, to go to HIM for safety. More bloodshed and violence only creates more. I refuse to be a part of this violent new culture people try to perpetuate in me. I see the lies and the schemes for what they are because Jesus gave me eyes to see the truth. In any case I'm fine speaking about this topic. Back to regular blogging. May all who read this be blessed. 💙💜
