{hundred things} passage xxx: Fight Club
The mechanic says, "If you're male and you're Christian and living in America, you father is your model for God. And if you never know your father, if your father bails out or dies or is never at home, what do you believe about God?"
This is all Tyler Durden dogma. Scrawled on bits of paper while I was asleep and given to me to type and photocopy at work. I've heard it all. Even my boss has probably read it all."
"What you end up doing," the mechanic says, "is you spend your life searching for a father and God."
"What you have to consider," he says, "is the possibility that God doesn't like you. Could be, God hates us. This is not the worst thing that can happen."
How Tyler saw it was that getting God's attention for being bad was better than getting no attention at all. Maybe because God's hate is better than His indifference.
If you could be either God's worst enemy or nothing, which would you chose?
We are God's middle children, according to Tyler Durden, with no special place in history and no special attention.
Unless we get God's attention, we have no hope of damnation or redemption.
Which is worse, hell or nothing?
Only if we're caught and punished can we be saved.

THIS PASSAGE SPEAKS TO ME. Not on a personal level, but a OH GOD OH SUPERNATURAL LEVEL. Because even though I've divorced s6 + s7 of Supernatural, I am still passionately in love with s1 - s5, and this is like a love letter to s5. BUT. WHICH PART OF S5? Castiel? (With Dean being the mechanic?) Or Lucifer? Because the If you could be either God's worst enemy or nothing, which would you chose? screams of Lucifer to me. (But who is asking it? Who would ask this of him? Who would know him intimately enough to know that this is where he coming from? Michael seems too arrogant, too oblivious to this side of Lucifer. Joshua? Because I'm thinking Joshua. OR SAM? I want a fic where Samifer reads this passage and feels all the feelings.)
[what would you rather have, peace or freedom?]
The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly. The farther you run, the more God wants you back.
LUCIFER. AND ALSO, GABRIEL. [DON'T FORGET, YOU LEARNED ALL YOUR TRICKS FROM ME, LITTLE BROTHER.]
