[QUOTE="skotothalamos, post: 7972273, member: 83398"] [B]Igbrin (Kenku Cleric of... enh)[/B] (Player of Dana, goddess of Life and Earth) (Player of Cazara in Zeitgeist) For Igbrin, we only have this quote: "The thing about religion is that most religions don’t care about gods at all. They say they do — every one I’ve tried, and I’ve tried a few, says that they give the very most glory to some god or another, but at the end of the day, the god isn’t really part of it. Every religion is the same, see? And if they were all about the different gods, wouldn’t they be more different? No. Religion is about the religion. Plain and simple.
