Recently, whenever we see our father, he prattles on and on about how God, and his relationship with God, gets him through everyday life. "Come to church with me, get baptized. You don't need to believe everything in the Bible. I just think that knowing someone is up there, watching you and protecting you, is something everyone needs." We narrow our eyes and, internally, roll them, every time. We don't believe in this God. We don't need to. Few believe we exist, so it changes nothing. For him, God exists. That's fine. We don't want your headmate. I already have one like that, I have one that gets me through life. I look into their eyes and I think, it will be okay. I lay on their lap and listen to them talk and everything is ok. Life would be nice if you ever knew of them. But you don't care. Why should I care about your God if you don't care about mine? Why must you prattle on about holy water if you won't even entertain what I find holy? To us, fiction and plurality is 'God', the means to an end in the mind's psychology, the way to find light from dark. The same way you read and study your Bible, and share in teachings with likeminded people. It is the way we research, draw upon, interpret, transform, and apply fiction to life. The way we participate in Fandom. Tumblr is our Bible study. That sounds rather funny, but so does reciting passages from a thousands year old tome over and over for years on end. We are no different. So stop trying to force your Fandom onto us. I already have what you think I need. I have my God, though they are my equal, in my mind and our souls are entwined, we will get through this life together!
