“You’re not listening, little one.” Another pitying stroke through my hair. “Mortals are wicked creatures, always striving for more power than they can handle. If the masses pray to a god who doesn’t exist, then the mortal who speaks for said god amasses great power. Riches too, I would assume.”
I appreciate the representation of the religion in this universe, it’s very interesting. I’m also an atheist so I guess I also like the slight reflection this is on real religions.
