Tenth Manifesto

[proudambassador]

These are working again, yes? The Animus did not break them for good, I am hoping? While I can now repair my roof, thanks to my dear friend Mr. Jojo, devices are far out of my range. Give me a hammer, and I can hammer. Nails, my thumb, the tiles, my other thumb, damn its little metal head. Give me a screwdriver, and all I can do is drink it.

That is the name of that drink, yes? I am not confusing it with a wrench or a crowbar or some other metal tool? I confess I did not pay so much attention to that particular lesson in Earth Standard. I was a busy young Centauri. The universe awaited, and I did not want to leave it waiting and hanging, no?

When a Centauri is born, they are born in service to one of our hundreds of deities. If they please their deity, when they die, they join them. If they do not, they are reborn and must serve another. If they fail to please every deity they will be lost for eternity, separated and alone in the black. Mine this life, thankfully, is easy. I do not see any difficulties in pleasing the Great Maker. After all, who am I to object to drinking and eating and enjoying life?

I was raised a Catholic. There is one almighty God and if you lead a life free of sin, or if you do sin you repent from it, when you die, you will live up in heaven and eternal salvation and peace and job. If you die full of sin, you will go down to hell where you will live out eternity in damnation. The morally grey go to purgatory or limbo.

...I think all things considered, your practice sounds better.

One can be damned and still be alive. This... is a fact.

But yes, I am more fond of the Great Maker than your Catholic. I mean no offense by it.

[shadedsunlight]

A fact I'm aware of.

None offense taken. I think I agree.

Too many are, my dear girl. Too many.
