What occurred in your world has little bearing on my God.

Then how many times has he helped you?

. . .

That's what I thought. How is that not abandonment? I've been helped more by complete strangers tossing a coin into a street than I ever was by any so called all loving god. Can you claim different?

. . .

He helps those worthy of being helped.

What's all loving about that? I am among the cruelest people of any world but even I know you don't leave your children in gutters because they haven't proven themselves 'worthy'.

[ leaving children in gutters wouldn't be so bad ... ... ... ]

Your point?

[SO HOW IS THAT BEING A GOOD PERSON WORKING OUT FOR YOU KIREI]

...this is the truth I realized some time ago. It didn't hurt me to realize it because unlike you, I never had any investment in god to begin with. But I'll share it with you anyway, you can decide for yourself if the reality you've seen is different.

Humans are all, without exception, disgusting and pathetic creatures. I don't regret the many I have killed because that is the sort of world they created for themselves long before I was born. Every person is thick with selfishness and ignorance and no life has any particular value beyond what we selfishly allot.

[idly trails fingers up your jaw]

But every single human, without exception, is capable of and has shown greater kindness at one time or another in their life than your god has in the last seven thousand years. Even a rapist might bring a girl a flower, and even a murderer might spare a starving child a bit of coin. Even a man like me, who tortures others for my pleasure and has worked to end the human race, can move a hand to put someone out of their misery. Your god will do none of these things. You have never seen it and you never will.

[ turns his face away, a bit annoyed but. ]

Hm, perhaps. Thank you for the education.

[ cccaannnnn leave now? ]

[holds your arm, studyiiing]

[ ROBOTFACE HARDER KIREI. but if you're good with faces there is a minute trace of satisfaction. If not then just robotface :U ]

[i'm pretty good at reading people but pretty dubious about reading robots, hm hmmm]

Have your own room yet, priest?

[ power to robots ]

Yes.

Let's go there.

[ did you just invite yourself over. ]

Why.

[um yes]

Because if I do what I want here it'll make quite a scene. I think you'd prefer some privacy this time.

I'd prefer if you didn't come over.

Yes yes, you want to be left alone to ignore half of yourself. And I don't mind that. But I'm afraid, priest, that you're considerably more entertaining than the wildlife here.

Half . . .

Yes, the part of you that is not and has no desire for 'goodness'.

[ . . . that's actually funny. laughs, a little. it's pretty brief. ]

[you might notice that the hand holding your arm somehow now has black claws that are pressing lightly into your skin]

Hoh, what's so funny, priest?

[ . . . wat. ]

You are well-matched for him.

[haha]

Yes, I know. But we're not talking about me now.
