I'm glad... I think Esther and her Church is right about souls-they exist.

They have to exist for Terrans and Methuselahs.

{Police Force}

We don't need to worry about that creature. It was rash of me to judge him so quickly.

Ahh... What happened?!

Your Grace?

Does this have anything to do with Ruby's post?

[mercifulsun]

No, Angel. The Duke of Tigris-my uncle Süleyman's spirit visited me last Sunday.

[atoner]

I guess that kind of thing would confirm it.

[mercifulsun]

I didn't think it applied to my world-Her Majesty said they weren't real.

[winewomenand]

You really believe in that crap?

[mercifulsun]

In souls?

[winewomenand]

Yes.

[mercifulsun]

I used to believe they were wistful thinking from the Terran of the Outer-but the Duke of Tigris' spirit came to see me.

They have to be real.

The soul is commonplace belief. The vast majority likes to believe that there's still the chance to meet with those they cared about and have passed on.

[mercifulsun]

Not in he Empire, Huey. We use funerals as a way to say goodbye to our loved ones and come in terms their lives had ended.

[child_radical]

And here I thought that life after death was a common thread shared between cultures.

[mercifulsun]

There is a reason why not-I understand the political implications if they accept this idea.

[theotokos]

Why wouldn't souls exist?

[mercifulsun]

Ahh...

A cultural difference.

[theotokos]

I find that really shocking.

[mercifulsun]

The Vatican Domains mysticism isn't high regarded in my country. We used to be ancient enemies.

Our culture evolved in a direction that Her Majesty calls the best for us to stop living in the Dark Ages.

The Church says "vampires" don't have souls. Her Majesty claims that nobody have souls.

[mercifulsun]

I will be true to my beliefs, regardless of the system.
