on YHWH/The Lord/"Capital G": sentient energy that created all that is, all that was, and all that will ever be.
on Jesus: prophet, lightbringer, spiritual leader, revolutionary, human
On Lucifer: fallen angel and king of hell but not Satan the Adversary Dark Evil Edgelord of All That Is Evil...
1. I'm autistic and would be considered "high functioning" if I didn't hate that word. Please listen to actual autistic people on autism before thinking you're special because you have an autistic friend. I'm AUTISTIC, and the Asperger's diagnosis now falls under the category of autism. So yeah...
Social anxiety disorder and autism are two different things. Also many autistic people aren't intellectually disabled, if that's what you meant by "slow or challenged".
During winter semester of my freshman year, I told my sociology class I'm an Aphrodite devotee and I think they assumed I worship Piper McLean's mom...
Also I really don't like it when pop culture portrays a "dark" deity like Loki or Hades or the Morrigan as being like the devil of their...
From what I understand (from having had a Hindu teacher), Hinduism isn't something you can convert to. You have to be born one. So if a Christian was born to a Hindu family, they could explore Hinduism.

Personally, I don't mind. I was a fan of the Percy Jackson books before I devoted myself to Aphrodite, and I've continued to be. The way the Theoi and other pantheons are portrayed in those books is so far removed from actual Hellenism that it doesn't seem like Riordan is writing about real...
Even when I was just a Catholic, before things got ComplicatedTM, we did treat Mary and the saints and angels essentially like mini gods. But we never called it worship, and every Catholic I know would object to someone saying they worship Mary or any other deity except YHWH and the Trinity. I...
