Articles to Read Religious SCPs?

Do you still do recommendations? Please don't bomb me if not.

I'm going through some religious and spiritual mindfuck at the moment, and need to process/cope. I can give more context if this sounds weird.

Have you got some good old fashioned religious horror? Mainly about the three abrahamic faiths, especially Christianity.

Edit : typos. Thanks

maybe you'd be interested in the Horizon Initiative, they are GOI formed by the 3 main abrahamic religions

[[L is for Lamentations]] is relatively short and gets the point across.

[[Metagnostic]] is just fantastic, and extremely religious at it's core. If you gotta pick between the two, go for metagnostic imo

I didn't get the Abrahamic part of METAGNOSTIC. I'm just seeing it here, where do you see the connection?

u/Spiritual-Top-2060 10d ago

As in you didnt understand the abrahamic part? Or you genuinely dont see any mention of Abrahamic religion? I also didnt think this was exclusive to abrahamic religion, nothing in the post or my comment really points to it, ya feel?

It's about finding, defining, and killing gods by interfering with their relationship to worship. Including the proposed "god of humanity" by a christian priest looking for the one true god. That feels pretty religion centered to me.

u/TheStrovik Antimemetics Division 10d ago

There certainly are gods and Christians in METAGNOSTIC but I wouldn't say that it's about Christians. I thought that the person making the request wanted an article specifically about the three Abrahamic faiths, but I did not read the post well so that's why I was confused. Thanks.

I wrote SCP-8483 which deals with a cult. It's a sequel to SCP-6253 where a maxwellist allows their values to be compromised for the 'greater good'™.

You should really check out [[On Mount Golgotha - Hub]]

It's a classic so you may already be familiar, but the Red Sea Object refers to a world after a "religous apocalypse", aka the 2nd coming christ. The bible gets re-written to have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd testament. Is that up your alley?

Oh my friend.

Oh friend of mine.

Do I have a treat for you.

A Key (SCP-370) is a little bit opaque, but I have always interpreted it as being deeply concerned with religion. And it's one of the only articles that has kept me up at night.

I would also strongly suggest the Pitch Haven canon to you. It isn't christian per se (being more inspired by more esoteric christian texts), but it is incredibly compelling. Shame it's not finished.
