I don't dislike it. But I wasn't really raised with it, and people use it as an excuse to do harm too often for my taste.

[trifocal]

I can't quite argue that... I know that it has been, and that there are some who use faith as a way to blind themselves to what's in front of them... though I, of course, still believe there is great value in our teachings and practices.

[ She wouldn't still be a priestess, otherwise. ]

I am a little surprised to hear that from one who also serves a god, however.

[holyspirits]

I wasn't trying to argue there's no value to religion at all.

[ they are a little placating as they realize that does sound rude as hell ]

And besides, God and religion aren't necessarily tied together. [ there's an odd undertone there ]

[trifocal]

Perhaps so. Is there a reason that you've come to work with this god in particular?

[holyspirits]

They asked? [ gamaliel. please. ] They seemed like they could use the help.

[trifocal]

They were short-handed...?

[holyspirits]

Not exactly? Sometimes you need an outside perspective for a project.

[trifocal]

[ looks around. ]

Is this a "project"? Is this not how things are normally done in Heaven?

[holyspirits]

Nope. This is sort of a test run. Normally, people die, they go wherever they were meant to go. That's it.

[trifocal]

A test... to see how many of us may be redeemed? Or is there some other purpose?

[holyspirits]

To see if it's a viable path, really. It's never been done before.

[trifocal]

Then we are the first...? It feels like there may be more at stake than just our own souls...

[ ... ]

For that matter... what will happen to those who do not succeed in redemption?

[holyspirits]

Mmm. Maybe a little.

You'll just end up going where you were supposed to if this didn't happen.
