Both of these views have complexities to them, flaws that make.it impossible to take their positions exactly as stated. And then there are yet other views, such as the totemic worship of the Eastern horse-riders, or the loa, which are commonly worshipped in several isles of the Sapphire Sea.The one true celestial the party has met (a couatl, Tlacalicue, "Daylight-Her-Skirt") explicitly told one of the PCs that the One is quite well aware that there is no irrefutable, unquestionable proof of Their claims, and implied that They prefer it that way. Not even magic can truly prove these things; they must always be a matter of faith.Seeing as how I'm the only openly religious person in the group, I have often solicited feedback on whether I have handled this well, and the players have consistently said yes. So I think I can trust them on that front.</blockquote>
