Joshua_Ritter Mitsh [BlkCat] CabrionDeluviant think about this Magick, the art of faith. Life, walks of faith. if you have absolutely no faith or confidence (which is pretty much the same thing) that techniques or spells will work then that brings up two things 1. will your energy be motivated enough to flow? 2. why do the technique? you dont believe that they will work or are even real. faith, even minor faith, plays a part in our everyday lives. without a tidbit of beleif we dont even have motivation. think about it. Well then there is also Chaos Magick and Discordia, where it's law to have no laws and to not believe or have faith in anything -.^. So.....yeaaaa....you don't technically need faith or belief at all, not even for Magick.
Chaos is moar, no belief or faith unless it suits a certain task; like believing demons are single, discrete entities when you're talking to them, but considering them aspects of your psyche when you're not. X3 What do you do when the same demons talk to other people? Personally, I'd sit there with a bemused smirk and say something along the lines of "That's different", then probably go play some Pokémon. Although I think you're supposed to come up with a theory as to why that happens, but I'm none too sure.

I would then return to my Pokémon. Red version, because I'm ******** hardcore.

That then calls into question where they come from, who named them, wether they're accurate sources of anything, what their motives are, who controls them, wether Hell exists (and the implications thereof) and so on. You could ask them, but apparently they're pissants and enjoy giving queer answers to things, or something. I dunno, if it works, go with it.
I just got FireRed in the mail today. I'm like hardcore, but with a tank of petrol and a match or two.

And hell, I don't know where people come from. I don't think I need to know up front, if demons exist.

Joshua_Ritter And hell, I don't know where people come from.
For the sake of propping a dead joke up on a stick and waving it around as if it were full of life and genius --
"Well, when a man and a woman love each other very much..."
