My dear Lacrimel,

I am glad that you are trying to give Lucinda a good opinion of Christianity and God, but do keep in mind that jargon with no thought will not help her. Nor will giving her a list of famous Christians. Believing something just because it seems strong or heroic or because famous Humans in the past practiced it does not make it right, though her Tempter will attempt to make her agree with this way of thinking. Tyrants who oppress others are strong to those they hurt, and Lucifer himself is thought to be strong by the other Fallen Angels, but that doesn't mean that they are right or understand anything about Gods love. Encouraging someone to take up the beliefs of others without examining whether or not they are right will also not help. Behavior like that can cause people to blindly go along with what others have to say, regardless of whether it is helpful or harmful. Remember, God does not want cattle or slaves. They do.

Instead, why not try nudging her to the hard sciences, like chemistry and astronomy? I have found that doing so will sometimes help them think more and more about God until they cannot get Him out of their heads. This has to do with the fact that there are many unseen, yet existing things that science has discovered and keeps trying to understand. It is also known in the hard science community that they do not know everything yet and that there are still things they have yet to discover. Though Lucinda is still an atheist, this may help her start to believe. Be careful, however. If she starts thinking about God, her personal Tempter will attempt to distract her with whatever they can, like with lunch or a good book.

You must hold on tight and be loud, firm, and calm with her. Tell her that she is not hungry and that since she already knows the plot to the good book, she can read it later. I know a younger Angel who was not as loud or strong as he could have been and, as a result, lost his one good attempt to turn a skeptic into a believer. The Angel had to go over his lessons again before he could try his hand at another soul. I don't want the same thing to happen to you, dearie.

Your loving Aunt,

Docel
