To keep a long story short (Neocities comment limits ;-;), I was recently struggling with a feeling of weakness and helplessness, that my incapability made me worthless. But someone told me that we ARE weak and that's why we need God. Our strength rests in Him, and in acknowledging our weakness we need to ask Him for strength. Which ties into 2 Corinthians 12:8. His power is made perfect in our weakness.

Basically, God is glorified when His strength shines through weak people. Being weak doesn't make us worth any less than anyone else, even though a lot of times it feels that way. We're all adopted sons and daughters of God through Christ, and in that our value before God is forever equal. If we were measured by our merits, we'd all be screwed lol. We're all truly weak and in need of God, no exceptions!

I want something that feels cozy and full, like my Aunt's house, yet not "full" in such a way that it feels cluttered. Like everything has a purpose and maybe the organization and placement only makes sense to me but you're still happy to be here and makes you feel as though you can rest peacefully (again, like my Aunt's house)

Actually, slate is my favourite colour so maybe something like that...yeah...like a rainy day but not a rainy day that mocks you with sadness. But I worked really hard on that rose-gold...paper...background.... (I'm pretty proud of it actually, even though it doesn't flow as much as I'd like it to)

concept: The "ghost" does not see as a person sees out of their eyes. Due to it being esentially a relay of the soul, any light particles interacting with the atoms of the soul render as information to the ghost. A sort of "feeling vision". Same happens when interacting with objects. While the ghost cannot move them, it "sees" them differently on contact. Depending on density the ghost may see inside the object

2 likes

capstasher 1 year ago

there would be a strange sort of pressure (?), like the ghost would not have physical sensations, but some sort of anxiety/pressure/fullness originating from contact with a physical object. I imagine the full body vision, seeing out of every part of the body of the ghost, would be a strange sensation one would take a while to get used to/shake off after returning to the Current

I definitely get you here. There's a lot of branches of Christianity, and even outright cults that claim to be Christian and inter-fighting with each other. I still do believe that we need to call out things that are blatantly against the Bible, but at the same time, some of the things Christians are fighting over doesn't really matter as much as they think it does.

Well said! It drives me nuts when Christians of a denomination claim that those of other non-heretical denominations aren't saved, because that's denying Christ's saving power as it's revealed in the Gospel by adding extra requirements to salvation. >:( We should be able to acknowledge others as having genuine faith in the same God even if we think they may be in error in other areas (i.e. baptism, communion, etc.)

Augustine is so funny to read because he will often say, "anyway, as I was going to say," and then goes on another rabbit trail before finally quickly summing up the point. Truly, a man after my own heart.

It's a series called Princess Tutu Zwei, and I haven't watched much of it yet but it's about events after everything that happened and if Duck/Ahiru was able to remain a girl. :) The animation is very smooth and the style matches the anime style almost exactly imo!

@ the comment about gore -- yeah, I understand that! The problem is, I'm an enjoyer of horror that many Christians would consider to be "glorifying" it (i.e. zombies, ghosts, obscene monsters etc etc) so I'm not really sure what to say in the rules still. I mean, there's bad horror (snuff films) and good horror but Idk if a lot of Christians are aware of that distinction or even think it matters. :/

2 likes

flying-with-quills 1 year ago

And I think another thing is whether enjoying horror makes you not-a-Christian, since that's really what the rules are for. Are you a Christian on the internet? Welcome to the webring! Idk if I should really dictate anything else besides things that are legitimately signs of someone being not in the Faith.

That's a good point! I wasn't entirely sure how I'd clarify it myself without adding complication to the rules. ^^; In any case, I do think you have the right approach.

why I think the horror genre is (well, cool, I love creepy things and monster designs) and an important media method

flying-with-quills 1 year ago

Although actually maybe I should change the wording on the rules anyway since I meant moreso "extreme horror" rather than "the most awful bloody array you've ever laid eyes on." And that's a pretty reasonable complaint _(:з)∠)_

Your new homepage is way better than the old one, u really well done.

With stuff like gore, I think it depends on the intent, like "displaying the horrors of war to make a point about why war is awful", which is much different than glorifying such things. It might be worth clarifying in the rules.
