Capa's last post made me wonder, what exactly is... religion like where you're from? It sounds like people have pretty different ideas about it, and it's just where I'm from, we've got spirits and beings that kind of make it impossible not to believe that there's something out there.

[Private to Vanessa]

I saw you talking to Rassilon.

And?

Why are you two antagonizing each other?

[lifeafterhope]

Politics.

Keeping that short, because...]

It's been a month.

[restoringhonor]

Yeah.

Which one?

[restoringhonor]

Which religion?

Re: Audio:

[veni_vidi_valui]

Yes.

Do you realise how many there are?

Audio:

[restoringhonor]

Not exactly.

[wakethedragon]

There are many gods.

[restoringhonor]

Have people talked to them?

[wakethedragon]

I imagine the godsworn pretend to do so, but I highly doubt it.

Not in the sense of a conversation, if that is how you mean the question.

[restoringhonor]

It is. Who are the godsworn?

[Newb ahoy, but he's in for the gossip and the general ship's culture]

Where I am? There isn't, particularly. Religion.

But I've served with a Dolgorukij officer. Been to Aznir. Know all about the Holy Mother and the Saints under canopy. She's supposed to watch over all things and they're supposed to... help her do it?

Then there's the Malcontent and the Sarvaw saints, and really it's all Combine and who understands them. Sorry if it isn't particularly helpful. I'm not native to it.

[restoringhonor]

It's fine. Has anyone talked to them?

[der_umgekehrte]

Not as such.

The Malcontent is still said to perform miracles. But they're the sort of miracles that come from a devoted group of slaves and more money than even a Saint should have his hands on. Not that Stanoczk would forgive me for saying so out loud.

Why, do people around here do that often?

[restoringhonor]

I don't know. It's not uncommon where I'm from, but the ones people interact with aren't exactly gods.

Annoying and amusing, in relatively equal measure.

Audio:

[restoringhonor]

In what ways?

Re: Audio:

[tis_disapproval]

Superstitious, self-righteousness, hypocrisy and repression.

Audio:

[restoringhonor]

Why?
