The Queen's power has to be less than God's... So why do you think He lets us be brought here? This goes a little beyond giving us free will, don't you think?

[Ky's unsure herself, but there's no way to gain certainty. She can only find out what other people are thinking, and that for some reason feels particularly important.]

What purpose are we serving here?

Um... I guess that it depends on which god in particular you mean? My money was on the God of Inconvenient Displacement, but Her Grace is the expert, not me.

[Ky makes a huffy face.]

The only God. The Christian one.

[imperial_ray]

To live peacefully and fall in love... right? That's what the Queen has said.

[reverentresistance]

That seems a little hollow, don't you think?

[undefines]

[Matter-of-factly:]

Actually, the Queen has brought a god here before.

[video]

[reverentresistance]

I highly doubt that.

[ritsu_kouyou]

No gods care one way or another about us. Your god is no different.

[reverentresistance]

You're very much mistaken. And "my" God is the only one.

[damaged_goods]

Well that assumes there is a God in the first place and that our lives serve any purpose at all.

I firmly believe neither of those statements are true.

[reverentresistance]

You believe falsely.

[histrionic]

Simple enough. There are no gods.

The Queen brought us here for her amusement, or else because we are useful to her in some way. We would need a straightforward answer from her to say for certain, but we're unlikely to receive it.

[reverentresistance]

We clearly don't agree.

[And the other woman was wrong, Ky's face said.]

I'm not sure that she has the right to determine our purpose.

[hyades]

Do you mean to say that there is a god here? Or is that your personal belief?

[reverentresistance]

Both. God is everywhere.

[mnementomori]

I don't really understand much about gods, but...does there have to...be a purpose?

I mean, it's not right to keep people here that don't want to be here, but for some people it's...a good thing.

[reverentresistance]

I'm sure that the Queen had a specific concept in mind when she took us, but is hers the only rule that governs us? I doubt it.

[tosaveyou]

If there is a God, I don't think He cares what happens to us.

[reverentresistance]

Then your thinking is mistaken.

[namedforthesky]

...Who's God?

[Because Sora is from a small island where light is worshiped vaguely.]

[reverentresistance]

The supreme Creator of everything.

[mastersparks]

Her entertainment.

[reverentresistance]

Maybe that's what she wants, but it seems like we should be able to do more.

[mother_of_god]

[Hey you remember this writing, right? It is probably hard to forget the only handwriting that burns itself into the parchment.]

Being happy.

[reverentresistance]

I think there's a little more to life than that.

[pervy_elf_fancier]

Which God? And it has been noted before that mortal powers can suborn the Gods. Urd has found herself waylaid here.

[reverentresistance]

The one true God. What you're calling a god clearly isn't Him.
