Belos: I’m going to raise Luz as my daughter and ensure that she remains pure and loyal to me.
Also Belos: I’m going to let the 7-years-old clone of my brother take care of her I’m sure he’ll be able to do that.
you joke but thats LITERALLY his entire thought process at first. he's so isolated and arrogant that he couldnt possibly comprehend the idea that luz wouldnt see him as her father despite the fact he literally told hunter he was going to be her older brother and never once encouraged hunter to see him as anything but an uncle.
i attribute this to the fact that philip is an orphan who only ever knew his blood brother as his only caretaker, so he sorta took having a brother for granted and didn't realize that was something you could want rather than something that just Is.
(also caleb was the only person philip ever truly knew + loved and even well into his 300s he never once picked up a child psychology book and realized that Perhaps His Worldview Was Skewed Because Of That.)
he literally like. could not comprehend the idea that you could even choose your own family outside of like. being adopted by someone. thats the other thing with him being so annoyingly christian in this AU, he was taught that your blood family (esp yr parents) is always the most important thing in your life & you should always be grateful to them no matter what.
(this is another factor into why he keeps making grimwalkers. in his own twisted viewpoint, it's him giving caleb another chance. and another. and another-- at least in this specific characterization of him.)
philip thought that him adopting luz would mean she would immediately be eternally grateful to him and call him father and the whole nine yards. but he forget to actually express that expectation until it was too late (aka until he heard her call him uncle for the first time)
honestly, hes not MAD about it. he's just sorta :( about it bcus hes not actually insane and can still logically think like "she did say she had just lost her real father to an illness its perfectly reasonable for her to not want to replace him" (he doesnt think it outloud but he also enjoys living thru her vicariously
but also later on as she gets older it gets to a point where he's like "ok its been years now why isnt she trying to replace him yet" bcus he thinks its a normal + healthy part of the grieving process to replace the person you lost (figuratively or, in his case, Literally)

𓇬 Lamb Of God Church 𓇬
⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ Lord, forgive me. For thirty-two years, I have tried to serve you: to protect your house and use it to teach. It seems I no longer can. The people of Eden's Gate want to take the church from me. They say they are doing your work, but I do not agree with their methods. They misinterpret the Word of God. There is nothing left for me here. The pews are empty. The candles bear no flames. I am too old and frail to stop this madness. Abandoning your house brings me great shame, but alas, I have no other choice. -Father Brian ⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅

"In Christ, as a great storehouse, lie all the riches of spiritual wisdom, the massive ingots of solid gold which when coined into creeds and doctrines are the wealth of the Church. All which we can know concerning God and man, concerning sin and righteousness and duty, concerning another life, is in Him Who is the home and deep mine where truth is stored… The central fact of the universe and the perfect encyclopedia of all moral and spiritual truth is in Christ, the Incarnate Word, the Lamb slain, the ascended King." - Alexander MacLaren

Blame it on Jesus?
Tumblr media
Hello readers. Back once again with another Friday Bog. With all of the preliminary politics going on in my state and next year’s presidential election looming, I decided to focus on the only politics I’m interested in these days and that being the politics of the Kingdom of Heaven.
A decade ago I talked with some Jehova’s Witnesses about the Bible and what it had to say about a number of topics. One of the Witnesses said that there were “elections being held in Heaven”. Upon hearing this, I became more interested and we challenged each other with hypothetical questions and opinions on what the Bible was talking about.
In Revelations the Bible addresses what is called “The first death” and how everyone will be killed and later resurrected for judgment. Upon this death we are to “pray that the death won’t be long.” Afterwards, those chosen will reign with Christ for 1,000 years as kings and priests.
This may seem far fetched to some but in light of current events it doesn’t look so strange. Thinking back on my youth and days as a non-believing Christian I was a fun loving extrovert that loved to socialize and party. Much of this is touched on in my latest book, The Learning Curve . Although I went to church often, most of my time was spent at clubs, parties, dances, and sporting events. I guess you could say I was pretty cool.
Today, however, along with work, running errands, second jobs, and household chores, you could say i am pretty square lol.
I suppose that is what comes with growing older but in the crevices of life God reminds me of his wonders and infinite blessings and I am humbled by his grace and inspired to live fuller. Looking back at that I guess you could say it’s pretty cool.
Jesus’ two sacrifices: “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world,” - Revelation 13.8., and his crucifixion are testimony of his payment for us for life on earth.
Busy trying to make it out of the house this morning I thought if someone pays for your meal and you don’t like it is incumbent upon you to tell the waiter rather than blame the person who paid.
At a temp job last year I mentioned to my supervisor, generally speaking, that “the world doesn’t owe you anything, but you owe it to yourself to get something from the world.” To which she smiled and agreed.
Until next time remember God loves you and so do I.

Syb's relationship with religion is so fun. Does she believe in God? Yes. Is she religious? No. Is she so incredibly culturally catholic that her not being religious really doesn't matter? Absolutely.
