36
37	->''Gods are not very introspective. It has never been a survival trait. The ability to cajole, threaten, and terrify has always worked well enough. When you can flatten entire cities at a whim, a tendency toward quiet reflection and seeing-things-from-the-other-fellow's-point-of-view is seldom necessary. Which had led, across the multiverse, to men and women of tremendous brilliance and empathy devoting their entire lives to the service of deities who couldn't beat them at a quiet game of dominoes. For example, Sister Sestina of Quirm defied the wrath of a local king and walked unharmed across a bed of coals and propounded a philosophy of sensible ethics on behalf of a goddess whose only real interest was in hairstyles.''

Sure, they're weak and they cheat and steal and destroy and disappoint, but they also give and create, and they sing and dance and love. And above all, they [[{{Determinator}} never give up]]. But you do."''

68	->''"In various religions and lore, God is said to be an absolute being. Complete in every way. But how true is that? Is God really a complete entity...? If God were truly absolute, then His creation would never falter. [[HumansAreFlawed But humans do become corrupt]], and [[FantasyKitchenSink demons do exist]]. Proof that He is flawed, too! Don't you see? God isn't absolute! When His creations don't obey His will, He eliminates them. He doesn't save those who believe in Him, He crushes those who don't! God's mercy is saved for his followers; others can expect only annihilation. That is His way. That is His 'absolute justice.'''

72	'''Sanaki''': Well, no. But divinity created life from nothing! Surely only perfect beings could do that!\
73	'''Yune''': We did create life, and can do many things that you creatures of flesh can't. But that doesn't make us perfect. It just means we can make mistakes on a much grander scale...
