completely unexpected
I knew this was a horror story about religious trauma, but I didn’t expect it to be such a damn good metaphor. Quite literally, this shows you that just because you aren’t the perfect person for your faith… you can still believe. You don’t have to fit in at the church to follow your religion. I will say this does need a CW. There are a couple mentions of sexual assault between Jesus and a minor. It’s metaphorical, I believe, but still. I didn’t expect to read about Jesus literally having sex with a middle school girl.
