Faith & Fantasy
This is one of my favorite builds in Minecraft. This building is inspired by the Navuoo and Logan Temples. This building is fully functional with changing rooms and all the ordinance rooms. I have love and enjoyed designing and building these holy structures in ways and environments that our physical world may not be able to handle or make sense. I have a "fairy forest" design that I am excited to build and add grounds to.
This has made me pondered my hobbies and expressing my faith. In many mediums it feels like faith is "checked at the door" when it comes to fantasy and games. Being a fan of Role-Playing Table Top Games, I see other players that of our faith take the opportunity to do things that they can't do in real-life. That is the point of the medium, but instead they take that as doing things that are not righteous.
How much more could we grow our faith when we can exercise our beliefs by simulating encounters that may not come up in reality? What if magic was real? What spells and schools would be inherently "evil"? Necromancy is an easy answer, but people easily pass up mind-control spells? Even used to make someone do a good thing, is mind-control possible of being good? You just violated that person's agency.
I guess I would just like to encourage everyone to "but be thou an example of the believers" not in reality, but in fantasy worlds also.
