The church is shrinking because it refuses to defend its followers
I haven't seen logic that bad in a long time <:yeesh:630878470225788928>
And their values
Then again, I should probably stop expecting better <:smugpepe:619749634402942998>
Andean pagans, clearly a large majority of people that would be the perfect choice to absorb into your religion
<:smugpepe:619749634402942998>
😩 💯
Not like you could target any of the dozen sects of catholocism <:smugpepe:619749634402942998>
🤸 🙏
No sir, andean pagans are the way to go!
Next on the list, aboriginal witch doctors <:smugpepe:619749634402942998>
Jill I think
Tell her shes drop dead retarded
In all fairness, I don't accept the "idolatry" trope which is often tossed around by the monotheistic religions. Signs and images draw power, therefore all signs and images are inherently idols. Also, it doesn't matter if you're an aboriginal or some taoist farmer; no one genuinely believes that the God resides within the stone alone, or whatever. The people very apparently believe that the matter is embodying something which exists metaphysically/after death, that it is a means by which to achieve contact with the God in question.
The problem here is rendering unto Christ what is Christian, and the church is built for that purpose. It's as awkward and unfitting as if I were to go and give the Andeans fucking statuettes of Aphrodite.
Or to place my ethnically reserved images in their most sacred houses.
It's also infuriating to see Europeans being coaxed into prostrating themselves before the items of Sudras.
Weren't it just demonisation, in the efforts toward a quick and efficient way of uh, "cultural assimilation"?
Actually it was probably promoted in that way but obv the idea comes up from lack of effective communication
It's symbolic for the past, and potential futures of the land kinda
I guess for past you could say it was like a theft, or a rape if you're really into it
For the future though, a sort of gift of spiritual attention, an acknowledgment of respect for the important ecosystems that have been of great concern lately
*Why do you think the Pope did that though?*
Isn't it obvious? The pope intends to erode away at Christianity's ethnocentrism.
Embarking for the underworld in a few here. Gotta vacuum first lmao

>Lovecraftian magick
so chaos magicians who are horror fans
Too obvious
Lovecraft borrowed deities and info from other cultures. The Simons Necronomicon has invocations for Sumerian deities which is how I found my patron deity Shamash
And far too generalised to be an interesting point
The Simon necrnomicon does possess excerpts of actual invocations to the Gods
But youre still better off actually going and grabbing from Sumerian material itself instead of trying to bind a practice up through Lovecraftian lore
