> What makes the West so strange is it inverts this: all personalities and personal relationships are inescapably governed by impersonal forces, embodied in law. This would be horrible for a true theists, as it would suggest (in their view) that the world is, in the end analysis, meaningless.

Put another way, from a theistic perspective, sorcerers are nihilists, and they would be doubtful any malkioni can avoid the charge of nihilism if they always ground everything in impersonal forces. Or, to put it in language from the Big Lebowski: Say what you will about the followers of Yelm, but at least it's an ethos. :)
