But your original conclusion was that there are _no_ correct answers nor any underlying reality. So why the difference?

Well tastes differ coz I don't find RW religions "obviously nonsensical". Since Glorantha has been modeled on such religions from the beginning, I don't see why we should have to drastically refashion it into a procustean-cosmos in which the only religious experience possible is hearing the gods speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about what they do.

Physicists do not think so when studying quantum mechanics. Or is this analogy more appropriate for the Terra Digest?
