You'll all want to start wearing as much wool clothing as possible.
If you go into the pond, it'll likely save your life.
You're welcome.

[ bless crowley for his current show of benevolence. daylight is taking this seriously and writing down the tips and advice on a separate notebook day has on him at all times.

besides reminding himself to look up certain terms mentioned here - catholic? orthodox? protestant? going to have to look these up before he starts throwing words around, he decides. - daylight thinks he follows most of what's written here. follows the teachings of a creator's creation and has a book that is a compilation of the creation's life and their lessons. follow it and you're good (their version of good) then you get to go to heaven. heaven sounds like a nice reward.

(though, as a side note: the... the bit about hell and being tortured for eternity throws him out of a loop, he won't lie, but everything else seems to line up.) ]

Oh wow. This is a lot of information but I think I've got everything written down here and I should have the gist of this by the time I swing by a chucrch and speak with their pastor. Thanks a lot!

Is there any way I can pay you back for your help? This is really useful to know and it's great not going into something, like, super blind.

[blessing crowley is a hate crime]

You can pay me back by not mentioning this to anyone, I've got a reputation to maintain.

Oh, and if you do read the Bible, remember that it's not actually God's word. All of it was written by humans and it's been translated a whole lot by people with their own interpretations and motivations. Take it with a grain of salt.

[A normal, non-religious person might have just said "the Bible isn't real" but that would exactly be true.]

[ if daylight could do a promising gesture to show he’ll do what he can to help the guy keep his cool image, he would. for now, using the nursery rhyme back home should work: ]

Stab my heart and sew my mouth, our secret shall not be spout! I totally can do that for you, promise.

[ though... hmmm, what was written in the last did catch his attention and he can’t help but ask: ] And I guess bringing that up won’t be considered in good faith, huh? Because the teachings and the traditions that were gleaned from the writings have been established for long as this Christianity is around where you are?

[demonicmiracle]

[Not the version of the idiom he was expecting, but it's kind of dope.]

Got it on one. If we were a bit more modern, you could find some Christians who are more open to those sorts of conversations, but they're likely on the conservative side, here. Nevermind that half the shit they talk about would make Jesus furious, they're more interested in upholding the status quo.

[Perhaps a bit too honest, there.]

[sunborne]

[ a bit too honest for some, yeah, but daylight honestly likes it. he's definitely going to be taking a grain or handful of salt while talking to whoever he meets later. ]

Thanks for that. Last thing I want to do is make them suspicious of me while I'm just there hoping to get a free Bible to give to Agatha. If I can at least get her that and make the month less sucky, I think it'll be worth having to listen to some pretty iffy stuff for an hour or so.

Hope I can pay you back for this. I really mean this.

[demonicmiracle]

It's really not a big deal, don't worry about it.

Good luck getting your Bible. Ciao.

[Surprisingly, a sentence he has said before, but only to Aziraphale about his collection of misprints.

But he's happy to leave it there. If he runs into Daylight in person, he might have some questions and offer more information of his own, but that can be tabled for now.]
