This is a question I have yet to see asked on this network, though I only have the slightest hypothesis of why.

How have you viewed religion or faith from your home? Has it changed drastically before coming here, or since?

I have been thinking about this lately...

Inherent belief.

Rhea... long suspected that was the answer. Or at least an answer. But in all her years, she had labored to give guidance, but otherwise not meddle in human affairs. And it hadn't been enough.

You explained pretty well how you discovered yours. Would many humans find this in the same way?

My particular circumstances? Unlikely. Most humans where I come from are largely ignorant of the existence of extra-human or extra-dimensional beings and prefer it that way.

I've seen firsthand what happens when one appears and tries to install itself as a new god. It went poorly, for the reasons I mentioned before: many beings with that kind of power are also not the type that are fit to be in charge. They see humans as insignificant and simple the same way many humans would think of an ant.

In my opinion belief for the sake of belief is better than belief because you know it's entirely possible that your entire existence depends on the whims of a creature that is fundamentally unable to understand that existence. The potential existence of a god is not the part of my faith I find comforting.
