*quietly looks up from his bench, where he is cutting leather into a soft shape, making ready a good pair of shoes (perhaps for Alice, perhaps for some other little girl)*

Why do you not all see God alike? I do not understand--tell me.

Because there are more than one, though it seems that some people here think the one they follow is unique.

*his eyes are entirely blank, so it's impossible to tell what he's thinking, and he probably isn't thinking anything at all, being him* But there is only one.

[ambereyedraven]

Sorry to burst your delusion, dear, but there are more than you think. That I know for a fact.

[three_smiles]

He cast me from Heaven. I have seen His face.

[nursegavin]

Depends on a person's experience, I guess. Some of us see him as fiction.

[three_smiles]

Is it because you have not spoken to him?

[nursegavin]

A little difficult to talk to something that isn't there, wouldn't you say?

[three_smiles]

I know He is there. I have spoken to Him.

[winestains]

I imagine we're not all taught the same.

[three_smiles]

*there's almost a touch of interest to his voice* What are you taught?

[winestains]

Well, the usual-- what my parents knew. God's in heaven so you'd better act right. That sort of thing.

[three_smiles]

Gracious acts done only for God and not from a good spirit are not gracious.

[mister_outis]

God? You say this as if there were one and merely one.

[three_smiles]

Do you mean the three Faces of God? But they are all of one.

[mister_outis]

Many gods, all of them powerful. They sit upon the thrones of heaven.

[three_smiles]

I do not understand--why do you say this?

[thanitohercules]

*quietly, nearly to himself* What Lord of Heavens he who let this grow to seed? *shakes his head* Ah, but none will answer me this. We are bound by rules we know not why are made, by providence, by what is writ and chanted in the pews. What am I to question?

[three_smiles]

What do you mean? What has happened that causes your doubt?

[thanitohercules]

Know you not? *an odd twisted smile* The King is dead.

[three_smiles]

All that lives must die. It is writ as His word.
