Do you believe in God? Gods? Do they exist where you're from? What about angels or demons or anything like that?

Where I'm from the existence of gods is hard to deny. People are pretty devote and religious. Church is an intrinsic part of our culture. It takes someone pretty hardheaded or self-centered to deny the existence of higher powers, but here there's not much emphasis on religion. Guess I'm just kinda curious now. Is it more like my home in your worlds, or more like this one?

Yeah it depends on the country! The shrine I visited a lot is technically Shinto? But we don't think about that stuff much. It's just been there and you pay respect to it.

And it was tough but it's not like i was alone, so it's not as hard. It's been a little weird thinking about it though how there really is something that powerful out there.

It's a good idea to show respect to any place that could have some sort of spiritual connection. [Joaquin could agree with that.]

Humanity and human life can seem pretty fragile in comparison. There's something disquieting about knowing we could just be pawns in a game, easily wiped out or blessed if they so choose.

[amadaman]

Mm yeah. But our world's powers weren't really like that.

One of our powerful things only appeared because she responded to the way we felt as humans. And another was only born from the emotions of humans. In a way, we controlled the world more than anything else?

[medalsome]

Oh? Back home, they seemed to do what they wanted for the most part.

That's... interesting. But I guess it's not that surprising. I'm sure our thoughts and wishes and prayers have some impact on how gods and spirits and things treat us.
