[Yep, it's another anon text from him. He's just not comfortable putting his name out there yet. Especially when posting something like this that people might get angry at.]

I'm just wondering. Does anyone else have a problem that there's actual demons wandering around? I mean… they're demons. Aren't they all supposed to be evil? Or possess people or something? It seems like no one's really bothered that there are some on the streets and stuff. We didn't really talk about them much at church… but still.

On a semi-related note, I haven't been able to find any churches in this city. I know Japan's not heavily Christian, but there should be at least one around, right?

[It's super weird to someone from midwest America, okay.]

But aren't they evil just because of what they are?

[... Oh. Well. He'll listen to you more...]

But isn't just being on the side of evil enough to count you as evil?

[Though he's not sure he believes that even as he types that. He was counted as evil because he was a clapper, and the clappers painted everyone in black and white themselves...]

... No. I guess not. I mean there's evil people, but...

[This is still really hard to grasp, okay.]

But if they fight against God, they're still evil... and that's what makes a demon a demon.

[He thinks.]

I dunno. Depends on the god, I guess, and there's an awful lot of gods and an awful lot of agendas, and they're always changing. I guess at one point, if you followed Lady Palutena, you'd consider me to be evil 'cause I was working against her. But I was doing the right thing. She was possessed!

Sorry for the TMI.

Oh certainly not. Simply because you work for a side doesn't mean you necessarily agree with that side. Similarly, sides themselves aren't so black and white.

There are a lot of things that Evil does that people might consider not-so-bad, as well as a lot of things that Good does that people certainly wouldn't consider all-that-good.

The Crusades are a testament to that, along with any violent war or revolution ever to have happened in history. Sometimes there are even things in-between that don't belong to any side.

Like policemen.

Oh, please. If I'm the false god, why am I the one actually responding to you? You'd better pray a little harder.

Everyone has a choice. But it has never been my place to judge.

[... He doesn't have an answer to that, so he just doesn't respond. Ow. Way to hit a nerve, Viridi.]

... But there's only one god.

"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

I guess you have a point.

I might disagree with you on the policeman one, but I haven't ever met a decent one myself in the past few years.

... I don't know. Everything here is different...

Ha ha ha! That's a good one.

I'm not joking.

Joining the Forces of Nature comes with all sorts of perks! Free annual membership to a hot spring day spa, samples of moisturizer made from the finest essential oils and daily access to the melodious sound of my voice.

Neat, right?

And if you act in the next half-hour, I'll even throw in a trendy tote bag emblazoned with my logo - the perfect accessory to carry your purchases home whenever you go shopping at your local organic whole-foods store!

Oh, wait. Are you from one of those worlds that only have one god? Man, if that's true, I don't know how they do it all by themselves.

For the longest time I thought policemen were from Down There. It turns out they thought policemen were created by Up There.

Neither was responsible. Policemen are a terribly confusing human thing.

Yes, everything here is certainly different... I imagine it's quite different for everyone who arrives, not just ourselves. If you want my advice, you are right that it's a good idea to be careful around demons, but to go by the assumption that they are all malevolent isn't exactly conducive to a healthy mind, is it? Many of them are citizens of the city. You'd be living in constant fear for very little reason if you believed that every one of them was terribly evil and out to get you.

I mean goodness, people tend to be just as capable of such terrible things as demons. Usually worse, really. But that is no reason to be paranoid of all of them, it just doesn't do any good to live in that sort of fear.

Well, He has angels to help Him, I guess...

It's the same with demons, or anyone/anything that isn't mindless.

[Experience says no. :(]

So they DO all have angels to help them!

These ones are different. Some are monsters, some aren't. Just like people.

srry 2 break it 2 u

but angels r demons cuz theyre supernatural

theyre also assholes of the highest order

& therere thousands upon thousands of gods

just look at hinduism

that 1 god bullshit spread by YHWH is only 2 get the most followers

Exactly. There are those whose place it is to judge.

The other thing you have to remember here is that the word people are using might not mean quite the same thing as you're used to.

It's best to keep an open mind, but stay on your toes as well. While some might not be dangerous, that doesn't mean they all aren't.

It's not like that.

[It can't be, right? Right.]

~~He's the one god. People have a lot of different interpretations of Him, but they're all~~

~~What makes you think that's di~~

At least, I don't believe it's like that. What led you to what you think of Him, though? Did something happen?

[Slipping back into a counselor role is just more comfortable.]

... I guess I'll see.
