July 20– From "Pilgrim’s Progress" (1678) by John Bunyan

 How Apollyon fights

July 20– From Pilgrim’s Progress (1678) by John Bunyan

Summary: A Christian Pilgrim has a shonen anime fight with a chimera!

Commentary: It's been a while since we had one of these Christian allegory readings. Usually, this is where I complain that they're boring, and make Yahweh look like an asshole. Today, we get an epic fight with bible verses mixed in.

Check out how awesome Apollyon looks! (https://kenpulsmusic.com/pilgrimsprogress51.html)


    If Eliot is trying to get us to support Christianity, he'd have been better suited leading with the fight with a badass demon with dart throwing and swords and one liners. There are some Job callbacks, which are interesting, since I read the original Job way back in January. It's terrible, but it sounds cool when you say it while fighting a horde of demons.
