Whenever I see people idolize their Bible, seeing it as a type of god itself and prioritizing it, I remember Saint Serapion who only had a single linen garment and a book of the gospels in his possession. He then sold his books of the Gospels to help someone in extreme distress, relieving them.
one of my favortie things about my denomination that I think a lot of people could really benefit from is our 'three legged stool' metaphor. basically, you have a stool with three legs. if you take one leg away, the stool falls. if one is longer or shorter than the other, the stool becomes unbalanced and could fall, or make you shift your weight uncomfortably in order to stay seated, hurting you over time. In this stool the first leg is scripture. The second is reason, or critical thinking. The third is tradition, or community. All together, you get your balanced 'stool'-- a balanced faith. What scripture, reason, and tradition means to each person will differ, and no one can tell you how to make your legs. but only when they are balanced and working together can you find a balanced faith. Even if someone doesn't like the specific 'leg' meanings mentioned, you can prayerfully find your own, and I think people taking the time to find the legs to go alongside scripture is so important. we are Christians, following God, and the Bible is not God-- it human made with human errors. So, instead of deciding every part of your faith on scripture, I think people should take some time to really think and find the other legs that fit them.
Always, here's a visual of the stool. Thank you for coming to my Jesus tedtalk
Dw, I don't mind at all. I also often hear a metaphor in my denomination of the two wings on a bird, representing scripture and tradition in this case. A single wing of scripture can not make you fly, neither can it if one wing is more heavy than the other. Instead, only if both wings are tended to properly can the soul fly up to heaven.
When people take the Bible and tell you this is your path to salvation then they're only giving you one wing. It reminds me a lot of the Gnostics in a way. From looking afar, there is no difference between people who only read the Bible and the Gnostics. Both read the Bible, use the Bible, and cite the Bible. But the way they understood the Bible, the way they put its pieces together, is substantially different from what the faith professes, both of them.
The Gnostics interpreted the Scripture according to their own traditions, and so do the Bible-loving Christians who ignore tradition and read from their own mind, worshipping it because they have this twisted idea of a God who only gave humanity this book and nothing else.

Everyone always says that Watson is the sun and Sherlock is the moon, but they are WRONG and here is why -
To start with the most obvious reason - Watson is, as Sherlock puts it, a conductor of light. He presents Sherlock Holmes to the world like an artist would a painting - if Watson was an illusrator he'd put a picture of Sherlock on every page of his books - and he basically already does in his descriptions.
Watson is also just very moon coded in general - his colours feel like a more warmish grey, and he has that relaxed old man vibe to him from time to time. Watsons character feels tied to how he cares for people and interacts with them, and I personally believe that to be a very moon-like quality.
Sherlock is also very sun coded - he shines brightly, and everyone notices him, but people can't truly see him with their bare eyes, he's misunderstood by many and can seem quite jarring. Sherlock accels in many areas, and people offen put him in a higher possision of importance compared to the moon. (But just like the moon, Watson is never fully forgotten in day-to-day conversation).
Sherlock cannot help but be the centre of attention due to his brightness.
People make the mistake of thinking sun = whoever is more bubbly and confident and moon = the shy, slightly grumpy one. And as much as I would ague this isn't always the case, I would like to mention that by that standard Sherlock still feels more sun-like and Watson still feels more moon-like.
People often forget that Sherlock isn't just a thinking mechine, he can be cheeky, theatrical, and Watson can often doubt his abilities and hide himself behind Sherlock's genius.
But either way you look at it - Sherlock amd Watson cannot truely shine to their full potential without each other.
Too bad the prophet Cassandra never met Odysseus
They say if she made a prophecy Nobody would believe her
I’ve gotta say, that is exactly the kind of stupid thing that probably would circumvent a curse.
Cassandra: YOU ARE ALL GOING TO REGRET THIS SO MUCH YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW.
Odysseus: Regret it why?
Cassandra: You won’t believe me if I tell you. If I prophecy, nobody believes me. That is my curse.
Odysseus: … I’m Nobody. Fill me in.
*A couple of months later*
Odysseus: HELLO PENELOPE, I AM HERE PRECISELY ON TIME AND NOT YEARS LATE incidentally I rescued and adopted a Trojan seer while I was away, she’s great, got me home really fast, Cassandra this is your new mother who’s not going to treat you like shit.
Penelope: … I’m going to need more details, but okay, sure.
Cassandra: *in tears* I love you, new family.
Cassandra: Penelope, I’ve had another vision.
Penelope, sighs: Go tell your father.
the original? on my dash?
Apollo: you’re the one who unleashed your little freak of a trouble maker on my Greek tragedy! You don’t get to blame me for this.

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
“I remember Christian teachers telling me long ago that I must hate a bad man's actions but not hate the bad man: or, as they would say, hate the sin but not the sinner. ...I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: how could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this all my life -- namely myself. However much I might dislike my own cowardice or conceit or greed, I went on loving myself. There had never been the slightest difficulty about it. In fact the very reason why I hated the things was that I loved the man. Just because I loved myself, I was sorry to find that I was the sort of man who did those things.”
