A question of a religious nature

[fateless_boy]

Gyuri knows he shouldn't be bothering these people so soon after arriving here but he can't help it anymore. He keeps dreaming of the camps, particularly the night they hung the escapees. He never sees anything in those dreams, he just hears the rabbi standing next to him start saying Kaddish with one prisoner after another picking it up until the

Here, have a pagan god.

"I do not know of Jews, but I can speak of religion, what would you know?"

[fateless_boy]

"I was wondering why God never does anything. Why He lets the innocent suffer and die." Gyuri looks like he might have been innocent once but it was a long time ago.

He tilts his head curiously, "Of which god do you speak? There are many of us.."

[fateless_boy]

"God. The one and only. It isn't as though there are multiples."

[baldr_dash]

A concerned frown presses his brow for a moment. "What god denies the existence of his brothers? I feel you must be talking about he of the Israelites, yes?"

T: Apologies for any misuse of terminology, I'm trying to work out how much a Norse god would know about other people's gods.

[fateless_boy]

"I guess so." He doesn't look Norse, that's for sure. He barely looks human any more.

Typist: No biggie. I'm lucky canon!Gyuri fails at Jewishness as much as his typist. (I bet all the gods have tea every couple of centuries or so to compare notes.)

The concern remains, "I do not know of his practices, but I know that I cannot answer the call of each one of those who pray to me. What humans do is up to them, they pray for my favour, and mayhap I shall give it, but they are not children to be led by the hand."

T: That is a glorious image, I love it.

"What if hundreds all prayed for the same thing?" He tries to remember how many people were at Auschwitz. "Thousands, even."

[baldr_dash]

He frowns, "I would do all I could to help, I would fight the gods of the people who would hurt my people so." He pauses, "But I am not all gods, even my father, Odin may choose to do differently."

Gyuri had an odd relationship with religion before everything happened and this isn't making it any better. He sighs. "I'll never make sense of it."

[baldr_dash]

That causes a flash of a grin, "I have heard a man say that religion and sense were too different to be united."

[fateless_boy]

"Not make sense of religion, make sense of everything that happened. It would be easier if I could just blame it on God but..."
