Timothy: It’s weird that you wouldn’t know about the Bible . . . But I guess when you’re descended from angels, there’s no need to connect with God through ordinary objects, huh?
Lily: . . . That, and your language is hard to read. Is it a good book?
Timothy: It’s a very Good Book!
. . . and it’s the only one Brother Alvah lets us have.
Lily: Read me some of it. One of the good parts.
Timothy: I’d love to. This is one of my favorite passages: In the

Logos! This this world have it?
Oh, now, that *would* be telling.
… That book is too poorly written to be interesting at any stage, despite all the violence, rape and bigotry in it… though the utter absurdity of Revelations can be kinda funny if you’re drunk and stoned enough.
My favourite Christian anime.
