*If you enter the chapel today you might notice the young man seated quietly in the pews. If you take a seat next to him, he may after a few minutes, unless you are clearly lost in your own thoughts, turn to you and pose this question

[were you seriously asking me that]

[x_autnihil]

...In the present day, of course.

Time has changed a lot since you were around! God's not as important as He used to be.

[x_autnihil]

No longer the most Catholic of nations?

If we, as humans, knew His true nature... that would defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?

[x_autnihil]

Then do you feel the attempt of humans to better understand Him is futile or arrogant?

[pieta_au_lait]

Neither. It's simply human nature.

[x_autnihil]

Then how, keeping of course within the confines of your humanity, do you yourself understand God?

[x_autnihil]

That was the problem I had with my original wording as well, hence my revision.

[x_autnihil]

Are you a man of action?

[a_holy_oak]

[tilts his head] That's a fairly loaded question.

[x_autnihil]

Perhaps. It certainly has been, at times. I assure you, I'm not looking for a particular answer.

[a_holy_oak]

May I ask why the curiousity?

[x_autnihil]

Maybe the setting has influenced me.

I think everyone has it wrong.

[x_autnihil]

How so?

[the9thdream]

Because people are stupid and blind, and they've already squandered their second chance--but they don't think they'll be punished for it.

[x_autnihil]

Interesting. Please, explain.
