Immediate thought looking at this is "Bayonetta is a christian theological educational game"

JK Bayonetta may be awooga but it's actually awesome

It feels like it may as well be occult to give more of a shit about believing in this hierarchy of heaven stuff beyond "hey they have things figured out up there." Like you're expecting to go there anyways so beyond treating it like a travel brochure, whats the purpose?

Contemporary Christians definitely just yearn for the occult anyways, look at shit like angel numbers where it's just pure vibes based numerology with a new label on it.

I've always thought Christianity has a cool mythology

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah definitely. Though I find Celtic and Slavic mythologies far more interesting.

Used to be a lot cooler. Gnostic Christians leaned into a lot of the esoteric and mystical aspects of Jewish myths. Reading the Book of Enoch is like reading lore from the Diablo franchise.

Real talk honestly; Gnosticism is the only way studying Christianity as a mythos is interesting to me.

yeah "powers & principalities" in Ephesians 6:12 was definitely referring to a special type of angel and not like, the government.

Not even correct since Christian Occultism is a thing

Christianity does get pretty wack sometimes, with schema monks and cofraternities of penitents
