Religion.

What do you think of it?

And where does anyone find a quiet place to rest in this chaos? I have yet to get a moment of peace.

In my own experience, religion is rarely anything more than organized superstition directed at those incapable of creating meaning for their own lives.

The library is typically well-policed, and possesses study rooms for additional privacy. I have been doing what little I can to contribute to that effort this month.

thinkin_arbys June 10 2011, 15:26:01 UTC

Incapable of creating meaning. To a point, I agree.

I had no idea there was a library. I will have to find it.

My best friend's a shrine maiden. I'm... vaguely Shinto. Vaguely. I don't think much about it, but I've met gods. And it kinda works.

And the planet we're at is pretty peaceful, ze.

TEXT? thinkin_arbys June 10 2011, 15:27:05 UTC

You have met gods?

I was not going to venture from the ship. What am I missing?

Voice for her - sorry magus_knight June 10 2011, 22:40:47 UTC

Yup! I've met six maybe seven goddesses.

Down on the planet there's all sorts of really cool wildlife - dragons and sprites and pixies... There's also pretty sunsets and a lot of thrill-style sports. It's just fun and relaxing.

Voice it is! thinkin_arbys June 11 2011, 02:10:35 UTC

...I'm not certain this planet is to my tastes. I've had enough adventure recently.

Find a library.

[text] thinkin_arbys June 10 2011, 15:27:27 UTC

I did not know there was one. I will have to look for it.

[permatext] undeadsidekick June 10 2011, 16:32:29 UTC

Yep. Saves harassing the unwashed masses.

thinkin_arbys June 10 2011, 21:27:52 UTC

Thank you for the lead, then.

[voice] oneformischief June 10 2011, 03:28:59 UTC

I find it quite amusing.

[text] thinkin_arbys June 10 2011, 15:27:57 UTC

In what way?

[voice] oneformischief June 10 2011, 16:56:19 UTC

Mortals will always attempt to explain away their problems. They blame the gods, blame developments in science, or magic. The simple truth is that they aren't in control of their own destinies. I question weather anyone truly is.

Some humans cannot stand the thought of being held accountable for their actions, even in the eyes of God.

[ text ] napnotwork June 10 2011, 03:45:04 UTC

I'm not religious myself, but it seems kind of nice.

[ text ] thinkin_arbys June 10 2011, 15:28:33 UTC

It brings peace to many people.

[ text ] napnotwork June 10 2011, 21:43:11 UTC

There's been a lot of wars because of it, too, but I still can't think too badly of it.

Re: [ text ] thinkin_arbys June 11 2011, 15:52:21 UTC

Many wars; men like to ascribe their ills and their better points to a higher power.
