Andy Peloquin > Andy's Quotes

“The gods are nothing more than the creations of humans needing something to blame for their problems.”
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer

“The gods are but aspects of an unknowable divine power. Humankind has given them faces and names in an attempt to understand the power, and thus we have created the gods as we now know them. What was once something vague and indefinable is now rationalized into a concept humans can grasp. In our worship of the various aspects of the gods, we have transformed those aspects into the gods themselves.”
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer

“The simple man needs something beyond himself to blame and credit for the bad and the good. If we were to accept all the blame and credit upon ourselves, it would be more than we could bear. Looking back at the horrors perpetrated in the name of the gods, our minds would shatter. This way, with the gods, mankind has a way to ease its conscience.”
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer

“I must point out...that now is a good time to have these gods. For if they weren't created for a time like now, when the world could very well be facing an untimely end, why would they be needed at all?”
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer

“Priests are meant to pass on the word of the gods, minister to the poor, and provide the services offered by their temples. No one said anything about being holy. Not even the gods are truly holy.”
― Andy Peloquin, Blade of the Destroyer
