If you don't fully do - you're in trouble. You won't find the inner strength, the Faith to power you. Subtle opponents, or not-so-subtle opponents with acute senses, will know it. They will smell your doubts. They will throw them to your face, try to widen, deepen them. Try to erase your God/Hero out of you. And you'll lose. That's why I play Silkinister like such a maniac.
