Gods talk to people. Gods come down and shake hands and kiss babies (Well, ok, maybe not that). People can visit the gods in their home planes. The reason there aren't any real athiests or monotheists is that it's easy to be proved wrong. Many people know what the other planes and afterlike is like. So, yes, I think that, with the same wisdom, most people probably have a fairly similar view of the same god in a place like FR. And a paladin most of all... remember, paladins, by the book, hear the calling of their god... A paladin is probably as connected to a god as any mortal can be, possibly even exceeding a cleric (Who chooses his god, not the other way around). No, a paldin would probably not have a "strange" view of a god.</blockquote>
