SUNSHINE: nope
SUNSHINE: we got to take care of each other

[maleficafe]

Lavender: I think we should take care of each other too
Lavender: but I don't see how that statement has to do with the other?

[constellationprize]

☆radia: I'm not really sure I understand.
☆radia: Is that something you "believe in?"

[maleficafe]

Lavender: There's a few ways you can interpret it.
Lavender: It can be a question of whether or not you believe He exists, or whether you believe in Him as the path towards salvation.

[rollplayinghouse]

Maki: Do you mean in general, or the God of the Heaven opposing this Hell?
Maki: Though I guess either way the answer is no.

[maleficafe]

Lavender: Either way is fine. Though I mostly meant the former.
Lavender: Can I ask why not?

[wantstheddd]

U: define it for me

[maleficafe]

Lavender: Do you believe in the existence of God, or
Lavender: do you believe that God is the key to salvation?

[inspiteful]

Eclipse: I believe in a whole bunch of gods
Eclipse: I wasn't aware that the idea of there being just this one specific proper noun God was a thing until I came here

[maleficafe]

Lavender: Do you believe those gods are real? And if so, how do you feel about them?

[stakesthesame]

requiem: like

[...]

Lavender: Yes.

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: I think my understanding of it is a little bit different
sad bird in snow: To be honest, I don't know much about the singular God that many people here talk about.
sad bird in snow: Eclipse and I come from the same world, so there are a great many gods, and I think the way we relate to them isn't quite the same

[maleficafe]

Lavender: How do you relate to them?

[iamverybadass]

Demonspawn: I believe there are beings that claim to be gods.
Demonspawn: It does not mean that they are.

[maleficafe]

Lavender: Like who?

[sancrimony]

higanbana: Yes
higanbana: Why?

[maleficafe]

Lavender: I was curious about how people see it, since many of us are from different worlds with different religions
Lavender: and it's a little hard to argue some things when we literally live in Hell.
Lavender: I'm surprised you said yes, though.

[forgottenmercy]

wisteria: not in a singular god but many

[maleficafe]

Lavender: You're the third person to say that.

[neigh_sayer]

C: Yeah cuz it's me!

[maleficafe]

Lavender: Oh are you the AlcheME gremlin?

[justfuckingtryit]

Thorn: I don't know
Thorn: Back home, it was widely held that there were several
Thorn: The idea of only one sounded like a myth
Thorn: But if the hell of this mythology is based on an actual place, maybe there is an equivalent to their god, too

[maleficafe]

Lavender: That's true.
Lavender: I don't know if I would want to meet that God, if that's the case.

[avestan]

d☆☆dl☆m☆n: used to
d☆☆dl☆m☆n: its a bit more complicated now

[maleficafe]

Lavender: Can I ask which one it was?

Ruby💖Sour: i am one! 👾

[maleficafe]

Lavender: Nice to meet you.

[nihilmancy]

Sekhmet: Ah, is this that "monotheism" again? I must confess that it is a strange idea to me.
Sekhmet: In my world, belief in the Gods was almost universal, and Their existence seemed quite self-evident, but they rarely made Themselves known in any clear way.
Sekhmet: Sometimes I wonder if the true Sekhmet exists in some way, and if she sees what I am doing. What would she think of me?

[maleficafe]

Lavender: Goddess of warriors and healing. She guided pharaohs into the afterlife.
Lavender: What do you think she would think of you?

[irregular]

Siberian: yes
Siberian: its the rest of this im having trouble with

[maleficafe]

Lavender: What part do you have trouble with, specifically?

[worthathousand]

Demeter: Lavender, why are you awake?

[ says the woman normally out of the dorm by 5:30am yet apparently also awake ]

[maleficafe]

Lavender: I can't sleep.

[backstory]

Leviathan: Of course
Leviathan: There is no doubt as to the existence of the gods.

[maleficafe]

Lavender: Gods plural. So you're from a world with many gods, too?

[criminaljustice]

Joker: i believe there are things and people that get perceived and elevated to a state of godhood by people who need something like that
Joker: but an inherent god that created everything?
Joker: no, not really

[maleficafe]

Lavender: So you think that gods (or God) were created by people, not the other way around?

[nohalation]

[mywife]

A LITERAL GOD: I AM A GOD

Ruby💖Sour: broseph calm down nobody can hear your divine procs over text

[syckophant]

Bordeaux: Oh heavens no!
Bordeaux: And even if I did, I'd hate Him, so why bother expending that energy, blaming circumstance, coincidence, and evil upon something imaginary or untouchable besides?

[maleficafe]

Lavender: I wonder.
Lavender: Can I ask why you would hate Him?
