[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7365595, member: 6803337"] A Chaotic deity's scriptures would look more like the Book of Proverbs than the Book of Leviticus. You would have general principles, tidbits of advice, sometimes contradictory statements. You have to figure out for yourself how to apply it. You have to let experience guide you which of two opposing tidbits might best work for the matter at hand. The most-strongly-worded material would be instructions to AVOID doing things that, time and again, draw overwhelming hostile forces down on the Church. (No 'Robin Hood' as a lark.) The deity might even state outright, "in these fields - A, B, C - laws and order and patterns predominate naturally; don't try to be an exception to them because life / existence doesn't work that way." (Ex: Planting seed at high summer because you happen to have some spare time won't get you a good harvest, nor will it alter winter's effects on the plants.) There would be more emphasis on individual action than collective action; "See what free men can do! This I learned on Crusade," over the common Primal appeal to the Elders or the Tribe. [/QUOTE]
