Previous 221b: Cherish the inner values


Today's prompt: religion, religious

________________________________________________


Tell me true (4/?)


Sherlock Holmes is not a religious man.

He is a scientist, so there are several reasons, the most important one the lack of empirical evidence, closely followed by the fact that the concept of an omnipotent entity is logically contradictory.

Sherlock Holmes is not a religious man. He is not so sure about John though. He knows that John called upon God to help him when he was bleeding out in Afghanistan. It’s an all too human thing to call on an omnipotent entity when nobody else can help.

But was it just that or is there more to it?

Sometimes all his deductions are of no use and all he can do is ask.

“John, how do you feel about God?”

“Hm?”

“You asked God for help when you were shot.”

“Yes, that’s true. I didn't really expect him to hear me though.”

“So you don’t believe in his existence?”

“Have you noticed the occasions that usually tempt me to say ‘oh God’?”

Sherlock pale cheeks flushing pink with arousal is still one of the most beautiful things to John. He grins when Sherlock has to swallow twice before he can speak.

“I feel the urgent need to go to my knees.”

“Do you now?”

“Yes. Come on, let’s see how fast I can get you to shout some blasphemies.”





Next 221b: Come, rain or shine

No, I don't think I got John's opinion completely. Maybe you have to write what happens next very detailed so I can understand it better?

From science to seduction in 221 words.
Let me have a moment to admire your brain, your skill with words...*shakes head in wonder*...'kay done.
Sherlock Holmes is not a religious man.
Really? My dictionary says "governed by principles adhered to as strictly as if they were those of a religion"

He is a scientist, so there are several reasons, the most important one the lack of empirical evidence, closely followed by the fact that the concept of an omnipotent entity is logically contradictory.
See^ I've always hated that religious has to mean religion. We need a new word for "a belief in something that centers you and gives you strength"'cause it's not the same for everyone and that's okay, it's glorious really as long as people accept and let other people have that...(oh, look purr's getting ranty.)But I want that word someday.

Sherlock pale cheeks flushing pink with arousal is still one of the most beautiful things to John. He grins when Sherlock has to swallow twice before he can speak.
Looks like 'John' is that word for Sherlock.*laughs*
Sorry I got ranty, Thank You for sharing this it was all kinds of good.
