Une des nouvelles c’est littéralement l’inspiration pour le film Arrival. Excellent.

Sure apparently chiang had said that it was a response to deficiences he found in a book of the bible or something but still like.. hes just an atheist interested in writing stories inspired by theology and u cant critique him like he is part of the religion bc in reality his belief is in the absence of divine beings.. it felt like an emotional stretch leading to him hyperfocusing on that inst of the other things

Omg ok 1 ps to hell is the absence of god: i read a christian's review of it and he took it so literal and was very offended. But my main thing i found frankly funny (sorry) was how he said the author's atheism and presumed ignorance on religion was y he bashed on it in the story. That that is y the author fed ethan the lines of god just does w/e w/o reason/morality. Bro atheists dont believe god exists at all... lol

The enlightened/struck blind by the light lack wisdom in this story ngl so the word doesnt describe it well and i should just stick to w/e word he used (i forgot). Its funny how this whole story is also full of interpretations from the mortals especially when a holy text and satan r absent (even in their thoughts).. mb the lightstrucks do help? Lastly the line of how he was sent to hell anyway was hilarious. (5/5)

their purpose is and whether what they are saying even makes sense and the imposter syndrome they feel and pressure to do things correctly especially when they have people asking them for guidance and putting them on a pedestal. Even that this floundering is superior to being "enlightened" but unable to connect anymore to her roots and previous supporters/marginalised community. I use ".." bc enlightened (4/x)

how Janice was so favoured by her disabled followers and then when she finally found peace and clear direction and understanding she could no longer connect to them and disappointed/alienated them because of that. Yet she didnt mind bc her new message felt superior and authentic to her instead of her feeling a bit lost and confused herself before. This reads as really compassionate to people not knowing what (3/x)
