Background

You know? she's pulled that on me, too! I'd be saying something about another character and she would totally guess what I was going to say from his subforum. I immediately checked the permissions on the subforums. I believe she is an empath. She has to be an empath. I must like empaths.

And what do you want to do with your time at the Tree before the others arrive by foot?

I appreciate the opportunity to RP, and was RPing. Jacob was determined not to screw up this mission, or let the Tabaxi stop them. He hid his face to avoid her seeing him, knowing his deception would be an issue. Once His friends were in danger, he revealed himself and fought for them.
I expected her to be mad about the deception, but the roles and Tesh's charm was in our favor. I was confused about the surrouding Tabaxi, in terms of I didn't know if they were all charmed or just me. When you said she was waiting on me to persuade, after that speach I made, I walked towards home. I figured, if they tried to stop me, they would be stopping from the mission I just laid. Of course, them being enemies, I didn't know if that would matter to them, but it was worth a try. Had they stopped me, I'd have had to try to come up with something else. I was thinking of the horn of charming because when we heard it blow, we all had to make saving throws. I figured maybe I could get a lot of them. But the description on it only says one person. So I'm not sure how many it would charm, and blowing it without charming a lot of them would probably not have been smart.

I am sorry about Kit's dog, but didn't make the connection that you were letting her pet the cat people due to that. Other than losing my dad, grandmother and a close friend, losing my pets has been the most devastating thing in my life.

With religion, I'm actually working the story into a book, and oft thought of putting it out on a blog site just started, but I don't yet know if I want the responsibility of influencing others.
My journey is on-going and a series of thoughts and reasoning of things that didn't make sense to me. I couldn't reconcile a God of love, who'd sacrifice for the world with a God who would slaughter children on the Passover or cause a flood to kill every man, woman and child (and pets) other than one family.
I also wondered about people who lived their whole lives but never heard of Jesus. Baptist theology is that there is enough evidence in nature so man can recognize their is a God. I have no issue with that, but to make it fit with Christianity, one must accept Christ as God; therefore, believing in God is the same as believing in Christ. So that throws out the belief that one has to believe in the sacrifice on the cross to be 'saved.' Which led me to think of the whole idea of having to sacrifice life (be it a lamb, calf or Christ himself) to be forgiven of sin. What is sin? It's disobeying God. Think of your own children. If they disobey you, do you require them to kill a lamb to get back in your good graces? Does that sound silly? If they don't do it, would you throw them into an eternal lake of fire? Of course not, so why do we attribute such things go God? Of course, the hell concept is only new testament. Old testament is just separation from God for unbelievers. Which does sound more reasonable and much less cruel. But if part of the dogma doesn't hold up, then why cling to other parts? Which is the reason the church has been so adamant to teach the Bible is the word of God.
Studying physics and biology, it's not hard to see what appears to be work of a creator or intelligent force, but such a belief doesn't include dogma that causes others to judge, oppress, guilt-trip or kill other people in the name of their god.

You can read the game forum. Sis explains some of that.
