[QUOTE="Dichotomy, post: 3289232, member: 12941"] [color=orange]"I've studied the philosophy and dogma of all the common religions. And I'm sure you know at least some of the more superficial differences between the gods. I could tell you that I worship Pelor because I believe in the way that he tells us to live our lives, and that others worship Hextor because he symbolizes the values to which they aspire. However, that would be false."[/color] The cleric looks lost in thought for a short moment. [color=orange]"The real reason I serve Pelor is because it is what my heart tells me is right. It is faith, rather than reason. And that faith is renewed with each miracle that I do on his behalf. When I use a spell to heal my friends, rather than focusing and controlling magical energy as you do, I am a conduit for Pelor. It is not my will that mends your wounds, but rather his."[/color] Aeron, realizing that he'd started babbling, quickly comes to a close. [color=orange]"But all of the gods are beings greater than we mortals. They call those of us that they seek. Simply put, Pelor is the one that called me, not Hextor. While Hextor may seek to pummel me if I cross his will, I'd not think he'd want to pummel me for not following him. He did not call me."[/color] The cleric patiently waits to see if the gnome has further questions. [/QUOTE]
