Thanks for your babbling :-)

Sorry to miss Melanie's point, but this stirs a question from my blackhearth:
The Gloranthan theists seem to me more "christian" or "ebrew" or "islamic" than Gloranthan Malkioni do. Why?
Because they admit an action starting from their god. I have a definite feeling that Malkioni are kin to Aristoteles or Plato and not to any RW religion (apart, maybe, Buddhism). Am I right?
*If* I am right, then why do they need a Church? Only to manipulate masses' power like the Kralorelans do?

Theogonically,
Gian
