Mafia 3 - Under the Moon
Black Sword:
--- Quote from: The Priest ---"Fear not, people of the village. God is still with you. With his divine tools, I shall protect you, but only so long as you do not allow sin within your heart. The good shall be rewarded, the evil shall be punished. Let your heart be filled with His love and glory and you shall be spared. Let your heart be filled with blackness and with the power of God I shall cut you down where you stand."

(The Nasuverse is the universe of writings of Type Moon director Kinoko Nasu. There are a number of franchises but the unifying basis is the system of functional magic, themes, and concepts applied to the universe. Among the most fascinating is the concept of the Spiral of Origin (The Root, the Akashic Records). The Root exists outside of time, where it stores and archives information of all possibilities and events, past, present, and future. Of course, by giving it a name, you've actually changed the nature of it, so it's easiest to think of it as " ", or rather, the void, but even then it changes the meaning. " " is the best way to approach it.
The goal of magi (the resident magic wielders) is to reach the Root. All of their magic can often be considered an unintended result of their research, sort of how vaccination was a "my bad" by Pasteur. Of course, what I call "magic" is more like "magecraft" since it's an art that can produce phenomena in the world. True "magic" is the accomplishment of miracles, like the denial of nothingness and the operation of parallel worlds.
I think I babbled enough for now. :-P)

J, you may call it primitive superstition but I call your attention to the evidence before your eyes. Already many have been slain. Do not allow yourself to be lured to their fate. Humble yourself and pray for protection.

do you think that none who died had the names of of their gods on their lips?
we must look to the evidence before us, and only to the evidence; people have died, and that's all that we know. leaping to mythological conclusions is naught but pure panicked speculation, which is more dangerous than any killer.
there is something foul going on in our town, but it is as much a part of the natural world as you or i.
henri bemis:
Whether or not the threat is supernatural seems irrelevant, as long as we keep our heads about us. Prayer doesn't mean we can't make decisions based on evidence, and if prayer gives some of us hope and strength, so be it. No one has yet made any accusations based on superstition.
This is not the time to argue. We need more information. Whatever foul creatures lurk in the shadows are surely watching us, may already be among us, and may be looking for a chance to create divisions between us.

--- Quote from: J on 07 Jan 2013, 09:29 ---Oh please, the last thing we need is to regress to such primitive superstitions. It's rationality and empiricism that will allow us to ferret out the threat here. We must maintain our rational thought at all costs.

HERETIC! HE'S TRYING TO USE REASON!

You already show some worrying traits, my friend.
Lines:
Everyone needs to remain calm. However you feel that you can do that, prayer, thinking, or otherwise, you should do that instead of trying to spread chaos and panic.
Personally I am choosing to pray for deliverance and for forgiveness of those who have fallen into sin. The words shared by the priest do not bode well for those who seek out evil, so I shall take refuge in my prayers.
