The gods are not dead. They have simply abandoned humanity. Yet, humanity still needs their gods. Without focus, where shall all this faith be directed to?

Alright, so the other night I noticed it was raining lightly. I prayed to Kanako and suddenly, the rain became very heavy and lasted for a long time.

Yesterday it was raining heavily and I wanted it to ease off a little. I prayed to Kanako again and the rain eased off and became just a light rain.

Sure, this could just be coincidence. But I choose to have faith.

Yesterday it was windy and raining, so I opened all doors and windows in the room and started playing Kanako's stage, dodging bullets while the winds made a mess out of everything inside the room. All while Suwa Foughten Field was playing.

Even though she went away to Gensokyo, I think it's nice that Kanako still has influence over this place. I regard every rainfall as a precious miracle, and every gale that blows is a gift to be treasured. I hope Kanako is happy with the small amount of faith that I'm able to give to her.

praying is a form of devotion.

fapping is another form of devotion, it's only that dumb moralfags try to make this way seem as a wrong one because they know you enjoy the act, while praying is boring and annoying.

>> No.5742419

Enjoying the act renders it meaningless. Now, if you fap to Kanako for a year while resisting temptation to fap to others, that's devotion.

Joe, the caveman, does not agree. Humans need gods, one way or another.

For some, it is Kanako. For others, it is YHWH. For atheists, it is Richard Dawkins.

EVERYBODY needs faith. In something.
