scarletmorning: (Mansel)
My lecture on Religion and Superstition in Early Modern Times gives me more respect for the church as a social institution. I already had a vague idea of its meaning for many people as a big community, but I think now the idea is more clear. And since it's on a non-religious level, I feel able to understand it. So my opinion on the church is better now. (I still cannot feel much respect for missionaries because my/anybody´s belief is not your fucking business and I find it terribly rude and pretentious).

And I want to write my Mansel story even more now 8D Also, I will make a meta post on [livejournal.com profile] magvel  about religion and my new but not-yet-fixed headcanon for it.

I've looked through the script for hints on religion in Magvel and I found a few surprising things. Two quotes kinda prove my theories about Frelia and Grado but the others have confused me mostly. And now I have far more questions than before :/ No coherent thoughts on that yet though.

Now for something else but related:

This quote here has surprised me, and not exactly in a pleasant way.

Mansel: That's right, dear niece. These are the weapons of Saint Latona, most holy father of Rausten. Here, we have glorious Ivaldi, and its twin, the divine Staff of Latona. I will also spare some funding to feed and arm your forces. After all, these is much that you must do before you leave these halls.

Latona is a dude? I don't know if that is just a mistake in the script from the internet, which is why I have speed-play later to see if it's really in the game. I mean, I couldn't have overlook that, could I?
