This one took a lot of explanations, not all of which were successful.
| Are you mono or polytheistic? | Polytheistic, of course. Ignoring all but one of our 7+12 berserk, childish gods is hardly good form for an enchantment student, since any spell requires at least one Noun and at least one Verb. |
| Do you subscribe to a major religion? | I'm afraid I let my subscription lapse. |
| How do you feel about Jesus? | He sounds like a mage of adequate skill, especially for a monster. |
| What holy book do you feel is most accurate (Bible, Koran, etc) | I am partial to Impractical Uses of Destroc, myself. |
| Do you believe in reincarnation? | Um ... no. I hereby deny Olixthaenen's experiments, and all of the related work for the last two thousand some-odd years. Especially my own grandparent's. |
| Do you believe in the traditional heaven and hell? | I believe that those who build heavens and hells should build new, fashionable heavens and hells every season! |
| Do you believe in ANY heaven and/or hell? | Doesn't Mircannis have a heaven of sorts? |
| Do you think the god(s) are vengeful or nice? | Vengeful gods: "Here", Iraz Varuun, Flokin, Birkozon, Accanax, Gnarn, and perhaps a couple others. Nice gods: Mircannis, maybe? Iraz Halix, maybe? Flokin, maybe? |
| Do you believe in angels? | In the sense of "servitors of the gods", well, yes. I had dinner with Oeox Havahhment, which was visiting my grandparent a couple years ago. He (?) sounded very harassed. |
| Do you believe in miracles? | In the sense of "things that happen the way some god wants, instead of normal and predictable ways?" Yes. Approximately one spell-casting in six hundred results in a miracle, usually a disappointing and annoying one. |
| Do you believe in predestination? | Well, Kaimiri [time god -bb] supposedly has a book giving zir servitors instructions about what to do under all circumstances which arise. I don't think that it's a Book of Fate that says everything that will happen. I think it's a Book of Possibilities that covers all situations that might happen. And, if Kaimiri doesn't know the future, who does? |
| Do you believe in original sin? | In the sense that some monsters somewhere disobeyed their creator's agricultural orders? Sure, though if a creator god can't get its creation to tend fruit trees properly, he's surely inferior to even our gods. Do I believe that, as a result of his own incompetance in creating them, he is now perpetually pissed off at them? No. Evan Accanax didn't do that. |
| Do you believe in freedom of will? | Yes. |
| Do you believe in souls? | Sure. A Kennoc Spiridor 5 spell can detect 'em, after all. |
| What do you think will happen to you when you die? | I do not expect the situation to arise! |
| Do you think there will be an armageddon? | [Much research is done] So far as I can tell, I see no reason to deny the existence of some mountain somewhere. |
| Why do you think we exist? | I exist for the amusement of Hren Tzen. Dunno about you. |
| Do you believe in life on other planets? | Yes. |
| Do you believe in evolution? |
Yes. [After another long explanation]. Oh ... our world was created, so I guess the monstersome answer is "no". |
| Do you think religion and science will always oppose the other? | They do? |
| What would you say to God if you met him/her/them today? | This is the monster god of the rest of this discussion? "Please return me to my proper universe instantly!". Or, if I am already there, I would try to get away as quickly as possible, on the grounds that Flokin and "Here" and perhaps some others would surely be on their way to evict the dangerous lunatic from the World Tree. They generally work on eviction first, and are not careful with collateral damage. |
| Anything else we should know? | A great deal, to be sure! |
