[QUOTE="perivas, post: 1844838, member: 2746"] [i]OOC: Have you ever noticed that no matter how convincing the argument, it could still fall on deaf ears when the audience already knows a different truth?[/i] The dryad cheered, shed tears, clapped and blushed as appropriate throughout the course of the speech, until it got to the end. As the platinum-tongued bard concluded his arguments, she spontaneously laughed and clapped in great appreciation. [color=olive]“Well said bard! Bravo! Bravo! Words most fitting for the greatest of theologians’ treatises…for those faiths so inclined to document their thoughts on the celestial. To work in such praise of us is truly a remarkable work. Words of praise are insufficient.” “It is sad though that you would hold such beliefs to be true. And I only assume this based on the conviction and effort that you put forth. To think that gods are bound by abstract values is an argument offered by many theologians, although it is ultimately a futile point. The gods themselves shape their own governing rules in a manner beyond mortal understanding and these abstract values would be beyond mortal comprehension in such ways that they are without boundaries as we know them to be. Hence, there would be no apparent limitations from a mortal perspective.”[/color] After a brief pause for dramatic effect, she continues. [color=olive]“Besides, I [b]know[/b] that the gods are not the puppets with strings, as you put it.”[/color] She turns to Rahveon at this point. [color=olive]“Perhaps, my choice of words is not exact enough. Do you mean to undo the destruction or to rebuild the world? These are very different tasks without very different repercussions.”[/color] [/QUOTE]
