You have to try really,really hard to get chucked into the Wall when it comes right down to it. It's not like the old Protestant preacher semi-joke/theology test of driving down the highway when the 18-wheeler truck coming at you swerves into your lane suddenly and you straight go to Hell without passing "Go" or collecting $200 because you yelled a panicked, "OH S%#T!" at the last second and doomed yourself for eternity. Becoming "all you are is just another brick in the wall..." is a process of some length where you have multiple chances from multiple query sources and at each one you need to flat-out deny the obvious fact that the Gods exist and they work in the FR setting in things big and small that the character has personally witnessed their entire lives.The one thing that hasn't popped up yet in this moral outrage-fest, and I'm wondering why not because it gets bandied around in the for and against in any religion discussion IRL is the question of, "Where do the unfortunate infants, young children, and/or mentally handicapped end up when they die?" They don't understand enough of the world to answer any of the Fugue plane queries in a meaningful way and it would be all but impossible to judge them upon their actions as they don't even understand what good and evil are, let alone law and chaos.Puts a whole new spin in things if 90%+ of the Wall of the Faithless is dead babies and children...</blockquote>
