Concerning Nick Brooke's answer to my question about:
Brithini and the Invisible God
- ------------------------------
Why not call them agnostics then?
Definition of Agnosticism in my dictionnary:
"Philosophical doctrine declaring that everything beyond the
experimental data (i.e., everything metaphysical) is inaccessible to
human spirit, and therefore, cannot be learned or known."
More clearly, an agnostic is someone who says:
"I don't believe in (the Invisible) God, nor do I believe that there
is no God; I just don't know because there is no way to know."
IMO, that would fit quite well with the Kingdom of Logic's creed.
Dawn of Malkionism
- ------------------
Just like Christianity spread faster than the older Judaism because it gave people someone more real to worship, Malkionism was welcome by westerners for the same reason, and also because its creed seemed more easy-going than the Brithini one, especially in hard times like the Ice age.
Of course, all this would be much clearer if some Lhankor Mhy priest could find and translate some Brithos Sea Scrolls, laying in an ancient cave...
What do you think?
Yours, Thomas.
P.S. I'm aware that this is a crude simplification of the origins of Christianity, but I didn't want to be any longer on a non-Gloranthan topic.
