Grate nods. "Can we kill these things before we wear them?"

We're a paladin of the God of Charity and Light, among other things.

Very sinister.

Religion is more than worldview. Anyways, I fail to see anything in Christianity that prevents other gods from existing save the bits which specifically claim such.

Religion is a worldview plus a set of rituals to go with it, essentially.
And it all depends on how you interpret it. The Bible doesn't mention any other gods except as false idols, I think, though I could certainly be wrong, and there might be apocryphal stuff that says the opposite thing. But religions, as you undoubtedly know, produce a lot of fanfics, and some of them can get really weird.

I can't help but have this vague feeling that God is the only non-idol god because all other gods are just idols. The most well-known example is how the Egyptians managed to almost match Moses's God-given feats at first. Despite eventually failing, they did manage to keep up for a while, which suggests that these "idols" had power, if less than God.

Agreed. That's one problem I have with people who try and separate religion from everything else, is because religion or lack of affects how you view things.

Isn't that why religion is important? And that fact more affects looking at anything else without religion than the other way around.

Not-Angel looks like she's thinking hard.

Nuriel falls on top of Conny and slaps Andromalius.

"One thing first." Nuriel grabs Conny by the chest, pulls her off-balance, catches her, holds her off the ground stomach-side-down, and then grabs one of Conny's wings.

"I'm not familiar with how fairy wings are 'supposed' to be. Is being flexible more desirable, or tough, or what?"

This is Bay12. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that we didn't get into a biological discussion on how a dog could talk.

I assumed as much. Ah well.

Secondary Skill: Enchantment [Assorted Enchanting Supplies]

He is skinny and has cream-colored skin to match his hair. He has a large mouth, often open, and long-fingered hands. He wears practical clothing, typically red or black.

Bio: Halfred has always been a braggart, showing off his skills with his flamboyant magical items and whatnot to various admirers.

Halfred decided to take this as a sign that he might want to start actually doing what he said he had done. "How hard can it be?", he wondered.
