You did. What I said was:
::They know when a worshipper has done a bad thing and make their ::displeasure known to his community.
The displeasure referring to the curse upon the community that the god inflicts as per Thunder Rebels p78.

Solace is fact but most Malkioni only know that it is fact on the basis of their authorities (in much the same way that I know what the speed of light is - whether this is still faith is an epistemological issue that isn't worth arguing about here).

And since the theists cannot apply the sorcerous methods of analysis to their magic to refine it, this only shows up the superiority of sorcery.

The atheists believe the Invisible God exists, their understanding of it resembles the cosmology of Benedict Spinoza - God is the sum of the laws of the Cosmos. The Brithini are only the best sorcerers because they have had longer to practice.
