Hi!! It's me again! I read your ask last time, and I thought it was very fascinating and enlightening! I hope you don't mind me asking more questions! Do you think Murphy Law has religious trauma?
Hello. Thank you for asking me this question.
I personally headcanon Murphy Law as an atheist, not "God is not real" kind, but "No deity could fix me. Even if there is one, I'm not going to kneel for salvation" kind. He had seen deities of all kinds.
(This is one of the reasons I dislike 8643, Murphy calling Barbara "Goddess" is too much of a NO for me. Even if seeing this in a cheesy romance perspective, it still feels wrong.)
2. I believe Murphy is someone who'd hate forced belief ("worship means heaven, don't worship means hell"), and he'd mock deities who do this. However, Murphy would accept some of the things deities done. For example, if he sees a deity trying to cure ill kids, he'd be willing to help even if he couldn't feel a thing from the good deeds.
(In my headcanon background, Murphy does have faith-related trauma, but it's not about religion, it's more like "Life is merely a piece of paper, fragile and worthless.")
