she replied late my time last night/ very early morning Budapest clock. she's highly educated- degree in English, Law degree; well traveled; into fine art, photog; and is a hardcore practicing Roman Catholic: so hardC that last september 2024 when my friend and i(and where we were at the time) were existentially threatened by a large hurricane, I messaged her and asked totally sarcastically for her to kindly offer up a " non-sectarian prayer to keep Hurricane Helene away." she went to Saint Stephen's Basilica and lit prayer candles and formally prayed for our safety. She's not a flat earth or young earth tard.But i do fear for her soul since she's best friends with me and my friend and I'm on God's hitlist for blaspheming
the Nazarene
( sam neill reference from Omen 3. watch it if you havent already seen it)
this is her exact response to my asking if she thought her countryman deserved the Nobel:
I think he does deserve the recognition. He has been elemental to experimental art worldwide (literature, film and music) since the 1980s. He has a distinctive narrative style that is poetic, philosophical, playful and ultimately really depressive. I haven’t read all of the Nobel Laureates, but the ones I have deserved immortality -

oh wow, thank you for telling me about the writer and what your friend says about him. she seems to really know her stuff lol and what she says sounds very intriguing and piques my interest in reading his books.
also Lol at your relationship with her
i don't know anyone close to me that is very religious or even believes in a god entity. we are all a bunch of non-believers here in Germany. i only go into these old ass churches for the art that's in there and that solemn feeling that i get when i'm sitting or walking around in that building that whispers so much of its history it's carrying in its ancient old walls. i don't become god-fearing or anything when i'm in those churches, i feel more of a deep respect for the fleeting, impermanent nature of time and existence, and yet, these churches are still here and have stood the test of literally 1,000s of years. especially Rome's ancient buildings are really sth else.
i'm sure you Americans with your baby architecture and churches that are merely like 100 years old can't relate tho. you poor Americans go into your ugly ass churches bc you are being forced to worship some imaginary entity. i go into churches bc i'm pursuing a higher spiritual experience.
