Even if he's wrong.In Ptolus the main theocratic empire centers on a god who ascended from being mortal. He was a paladin martyred by a demon pretending to be a benevolent sun god. The mortal ascended on his death, overthrew the demon and took over the false religion, revealing the truth of the demon. Later at one point the empire forbid the worship of any god but theirs. I see no problem with believing that a mortal ascended god would not be sure on the actual divinity of other gods or that a godless paladin who uncovered false gods and did not encounter true gods might continually have suspicions about the other supposed gods worshipped by mortals.Lothian: "1 Don't worship demons, you lose your soul if you do. 2 Gods may actually be demons who pretend to be gods. 3 I know I am not a demon. 4 Therefore I'm the only god I can vouch your soul will be safe with. 5 I have a duty to protect human souls from being devoured by demons." This is not really an argument for a worshipper to move to Lothian as the worshipper cannot verify Lothian's point 3. It is an argument for Lothian to want to have people worship him exclusively.</blockquote>
