Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hearing this, she inferred a little, to total, atheism from him. Ansley gripped her rosary really hard, to the point that if she had long fingernails, her hand would be bleeding already. Yes, everyone had their own decision and views on religion, but she just couldn't stand how people could see that way. Loosening her grip on the rosary, anger burned in her eyes, but her face was soft, contradicting everything going on in her mind. The one burning question burst through her lips, but it sounded casual. "Are you religious?"

Ansley could still tell the was some atheism in him, but also saw where he was coming from. Though, it didn't mean she understood, she just...sees the decision. Frankly, she didn't care if she'd be able to co-operate with any of these people, and she also didn't care if people aimed to please her or not. This coming from James wasn't anything different, as if he meant anything special to her. She, most definitely now, was not interested. Although that doesn't mean its beacuse his religion decisions...
She put her rosary around her neck, and doubled it, since it was so long. It now looked like two totally different necklaces, although it doesn't take a genious to figure it was one. Pulling her hair out of the necklace and fixing it to where it hung on both sides of her shoulders and rested on her chest, she thought a minute. "So, you're not religious, yet you believe in...everything?" The anger in her eyes dulled down, but it was still there. Her face still stayed ever-so-soft.

Ansley raised an eyebrow. If she wasn't already sitting up straight, she sure as hell would be now. "Just because someone worships a god, that doesn't mean they're not trying to make this world a better place. We are just as much as you, but if someone did believe someone was real, and that they'd help guide them and keep them from the grips of evil's hands, it would make that person feel more..safe, more secure. I believe the world should be a better place just as much as you do." The anger faded, and she smiled. "Though those reasons aren't my reason that I believe in God, for the most part."

Ansley laughed in her head. She couldn't believe he actually thought that, but than again, he was true...again. "Yes, it does, but also the careless and carefree people get in the way. They believe they don't have to please, so they just don't care. It's sad and utterly pathetic." She had a feeling it'd be interpretted the wrong way, but she was trying not to blow her top off. Not literally, of course.

"Zack," he said before waving back to James. He listened to the dialogue between James and Ansley briefly, then turned to Liliana. "Is everyone always talking about serious things? Religion just wouldn't be my personal subject of choice. Music though, you get me to talk about preferences for hours. What about you? What are your thoughts?" he asked Liliana.

James nodded. "Aye. But the carefree people are the best." he said, smiling. He considered himself carefree, as not much really got to him, except a very small list of things. Most times, he was calm and agreeable.

He looked over at Lori, then shrugged. "I wouldn't be so quick to deny it, but as I said, to each his or her own. If that's your beliefs, fine by me. If Ansley believes there's a God, fine by me as well. I don't deny it so I can stay rather neutral, and not get disemboweled by religious fanatics, and my head ripped off by diehard atheists." he said with a laugh, having exaggerated that grossly for both sides.

James chuckled slightly when Ansley didn't reply. He was almost thankful, because he knew how heated debates like this could get. He shrugged, grinning mischievously.
"Probably sitting outside there, laughing his a** off at us in here." he suggested.
"He's probably wondering how long it'll be before we all go insane and end up killing each other." he joked.
