"I think that you have to believe in, what helps you to feel the most comfortable," Dwin said, liking the hands-off approach of gods far better than the totalitarian one. "And in the meantime don't be a jerk to other people. That's also important," just in case someone felt that their zone of comfort involved doing harm to others.
"I think that it could be so that... all gods and beliefs are good and valuable, it just depends on, where you live and what you need at the time. If... I am very self-confident and have a good grip of my life - those gods, who have their own godly business to mind, would be the best. If - on ther other hand - this, I do not know for sure, but mom says that if people choose to have strict order and hierarchy and a person, who tells them, what to do, then they feel unsafe in the world. That rules and order give them peace of mind," she paused, wondering if Heph as a more experienced person in this conversation, could corroborate it.
"But I think that a god that tells you, what to do, kind of strips you of the ability to think for yourself. If all of a sudden you lose that god - for whatever reason - I imagine people would feel seriously lost and confused and would not know, what to do with themselves," she mused.
