-"That cross you wear around your neck. Is it only a decoration, or are you a true Christian believer?"
-"Yes, I believe, truly."
-"Then I want you to remove it at once. And never to wear it within this castle again! Do you know how a falcon is trained, my dear? Her eyes are sewn shut. Blinded temporarily, she suffers the whims of her god patiently, until her will is submerged and she learns to serve. Has your god totally blinded you with crosses?"
-"You'd have me take off my cross because it offended -"
-"It offended no one. No, it simply appeared to me to be discourteous to wear the symbol of a diety long dead. My ancestors tried to find him, to open the door that separates us from our creator."
-"You need no doors to find God. If you believe..."
-"Believe? You believe in your god. Can you look around in this world and believe in the goodness of a god who rules it? Famine, pestilence, war, disease and death! They rule this world."
-"There's also love, and life, and hope!"
-"Very little hope, I assure you. No, if a god of love and life ever did exist, he's long since dead. Someone...something...rules in his place."

niin ja btw, I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out... :(
