A little. Where I'm from, we're taught that any god or gods that exist are...hmm. Well. 'Above it all'? They're some sort of higher power that doesn't have the trappings of a mortal life. But then again, I've also never met a god in my world. They might not exist there.
Weeeell... we're supposed to be. There are a lot of legends like that about us, too.
[she chuckles]
...but we're people as well as gods, and we were all human once. It might have been centuries since we were mortal, and we may get a little too used to how things are in the heavens - but some things just don't fade.
Hmm... I never thought about it as strange, but... that's just always been how it was. I guess it'd be strange if you grew up believing something else, though!
Mmm. I don't believe anything I can't see for myself, honestly. If a system of deities was based around actual people who can show up and act, then I could believe that. But not some "just have faith in a higher power" nonsense.
I guess it's hard to have faith in something you've never seen... that's pretty normal, I think! Even in the heavens, there are gods who won't believe something until they see it!
That seems like a very human kind of skepticism, yes. And being able to prove something is far more trustworthy than 'just believe me'. Perhaps seeing your memory was a boon in that case.

If it helps, even other gods have some trouble accepting it. Even though they can do the same thing I can! You're doing great.

...I was a bit rude to Nathan before, and I think it was my ignorance on the topic that drove my rudeness.
[Except Nathan is fukken dead now so he can't apologize whups.]

Well... ignorance can be corrected. It's much better than rudeness that comes from malice, after all.

[At least he's only been malicious towards a couple people so far?]
...perhaps I should tone back the intentional rudeness too.

That's still strange to think of, that there is no 'higher being' and you all just got believed into godly power.
