This is a question I have yet to see asked on this network, though I only have the slightest hypothesis of why.

How have you viewed religion or faith from your home? Has it changed drastically before coming here, or since?

I have been thinking about this lately...

i was raised in a catholic boys home but i stopped going to service regularly when i was like ten

its not the most welcoming place for demons anyway so i dont really care anymore

[immaculate_one]

Demons?

[ She's familiar with the concept of a demon, but never really met one. She should be hating the guts of a demon by nature, but... well humans were jerks too and look where she is now!

Too curious, she instead asked, ]

Now why would a demon send their kin to church?

[satanslash]

i was raised human

im only half i didnt know about the demon part until two years ago

[immaculate_one]

Ah.

[ Must suck to realize that you're part demon and already be lining up for harassment among humanity. ]

Faith is not exclusive to belief in a religious figure. Do you share that idea for something else?

[satanslash]

not really

the whole demons being real kinda took the wind outta whatever little belief i had left so i just

do my best to survive and not really thinkg about it

[immaculate_one]

I see.

[ A pity. Is he hopeless, or does he just ignore the divine to survive? ]

But then what makes life worth living?

[satanslash]

[As far as he's concerned there's only demons and too much suffering in the world that he doesn't want to add to.]

a lot of things?
friends that care about you, good food, memories...

my girlfriend?

and like there are people who gave their lives so i could live so if i just gave up it would be a real douche move on my part yknow? i aint gonna spit on their sacrifice like that

[immaculate_one]

It's good to have things to believe in. Everyone deserves that chance, so long as it doesn't bring harm to others.

I have always been driven to protect my home, especially with the sacrifices made to keep the peace. Lately, I have understood that others can protect my home as well as I could, and that I can entrust that to them.

[satanslash]

i want to help people not harm them
which probably goes against what everyone thinks they know about demons but whatever its my life right?

not having faith isnt even something i think about anymore
