  1. CW: CW: a little philosophy, existential shrugging, and cats claiming divine authority.

    I am an Epicurean agnostic deist.

    Which sounds terribly complicated, but is actually quite simple.

    I don't know whether there is a God, or several. Maybe there is. Maybe there isn't. I don't really know, and (this is the important bit) I don't particularly feel the need to know.

    The universe is under no obligation to explain itself to me, and I am under no obligation to invent certainty where none is available.

    But if there is a creator, I imagine them rather like an author who finished an enormous, complicated, occasionally beautiful manuscript, put down their pen, and walked away.

    The work continues. The characters are on their own. The author is not popping back in every five minutes to rearrange the furniture, punish someone for wearing the wrong trousers, or decide which football team deserves divine favour.

    And the Epicurean part?

    That may be the most important bit of all.

    I don't believe in living in fear. Not of gods. Not of death. Not of punishment. Not of some cosmic headteacher waiting to tell me I've been very naughty indeed. Been there, done that, minus the cosmic part. ;)

    I believe in tranquillity. Friendship. Love. Thinking carefully. Being kind. Causing as little unnecessary suffering as possible.

    And pleasure. Not endless excess, but the quiet, genuine pleasures of being alive.

    Good food. Good coffee. Good conversation. People you love. A comfortable place to sit. A long walk. An afternoon in a park beneath old trees, watching the world happen around you.

    And cats.

    Obviously, cats are divine.

    Perhaps Thor exists. Perhaps Bastet exists. Perhaps they are both busy. Perhaps neither exists in the way people imagine gods exist.

    But when a cat climbs onto my lap, looks at me with ancient and absolute authority, and demands worship in the form of snacks, I feel that the theological evidence is at least worth considering.

    So there you have it.

    I don't know.

    Maybe.

    The creator, if there was one, has probably walked away from their work.

    And in the meantime, I intend to love my friends, sit in parks, drink cocktails, pet cats, think deeply, be occasionally mischievous, and enjoy this strange little bit of existence while I've got it.

    That seems quite enough theology for one lifetime. 💜🌳🐈✨

    ¿Sabías que la deidad protectora de Wakanda en los cómics y películas de Marvel es exactamente la misma diosa gata del Antiguo Egipto?

    La diosa Bastet, conocida en el universo de Marvel simplemente como Bast, forma parte fundamental de la mitología de Black Panther y del canon oficial del estudio. Dentro de la historia gráfica de la editorial, esta deidad egipcia mudó su plano espiritual hacia África y se convirtió en la Diosa Pantera venerada por los wakandianos. De hecho, fue ella quien guio mediante una visión mística al chamán guerrero Bashena hacia la planta de corazón mutada por el vibranio, otorgándole las habilidades sobrehumanas para convertirse en el primer Black Panther de la historia. El impacto de este personaje de origen histórico es tan real en la cultura pop que incluso tuvo una aparición en la gran pantalla durante la reunión del Consejo de Deidades de Ciudad Omnipotencia en la película de Thor de 2022.

    ¿Sabías que la dócil diosa gata del Antiguo Egipto comenzó siendo una feroz leona guerrera?

    La diosa Bastet es famosa por su forma de gato doméstico, pero durante las primeras dinastías era representada con la cabeza de una leona agresiva vinculada al calor del sol y a la guerra. Con la domesticación de los felinos y su integración en los hogares para combatir plagas de roedores y serpientes, la percepción de la deidad se transformó por completo hacia el Imperio Medio. Su iconografía cambió a la de una mujer con cabeza de gato doméstico, mutando también sus responsabilidades hacia la protección del hogar, la fertilidad de las mujeres y la música. Este drástico cambio convirtió a una deidad originalmente temible en una de las figuras más amorosas, populares y veneradas por el pueblo egipcio hasta la época grecorromana.
