So hypothetically, if you're an atheist (no judgement on people who aren't! ♥) and then learn your magic is the result of divine intervention, does that change things for you?

I happen to be in Enprise, so they can count as a debate!

Oooooor~! I might wander around and anyone can try to steal some coins [ inserted image of twenty weird coins ] from me if they can find me! I was a priness in another life and I'm the only staff member of the Stone Pegasus Casino left in town, so I count as double rich, maybe? Either way, it might be fun to see how daring people can get!

Oh no! You're the sort of not be grateful for bad gifts?! Your relatives must be sad sometimes . . .

[godcards]

No and no. I don't have any relatives... So that point is moot. Even so, why would I be grateful for something that is bad?

[nachetanya]

[ No relatives... huh? ]

Well! Not really, but it's nice to pretend for people.

[godcards]

Why? There is no benefit in doing so for either person.

[nachetanya]

Civility!

I'm not sure I disagree per se! But especially with those relatives you don't have, for those of us who have them, they remain around no matter what. It's easier to say that we appreciate the gift to say we appreciate that they thought of us.

[ Something about these words sting, but he's not sure why. ]

Then go ahead and lie to yours, that doesn't affect me at all. I'm in no position to do so... Again, it is irrelevant.

[nachetanya]

That's fair! After all, you don't need to worry about it, and (hypothetically!) it's not as if you could talk to a god in a dead world anyway.

So it's all theory.

[godcards]

Well then I hope you got whatever information you needed for your theory, even with as unproductive this conversation was.

[nachetanya]

"Debates" usually aren't that productive! Power is what matters for things like this anyway.

[godcards]

Oh, don't tell me... you staged this whole debate to justify your feelings in regards to a divine gift?

[nachetanya]

Oh no, I don't really care, personally. I know what I believe already and I don't need to justify it.

It's to answer one of Mr. Carlisle's challenges.

[godcards]

Oh. Well that's hardly exciting, even if it's legitimate.

[nachetanya]

Sadly, most things are.

I'm an atheist, I just don't give a lot of thought to the divine as a general rule! I do have some ideals, but they aren't the sort I'd be putting up for public debate. But if you want to say you won, you're free to!

[godcards]

Getting your permission to say I won doesn't make a very exciting victory either! But you know...

I don't think I lost.

[nachetanya]

Well, there you go, you didn't!
