On the Absence of God

 

 

Written by Deacon Pierre on the 10th of Sun's Smile, 1649

 

 

 

 

It is readily apparent to any not raised and naturalised to the culture of Atlas and the lands before it, that the whole region and every culture within suffers from a plague of rampant, wanton violence, regularly taken to the extreme. Where the aberration does not stir strife, one can be sure to see it raised by another, a sadly twisted mind of purely mundane creation.

 

The tragic effect of this cannot be understated, as even the children become twisted monstrosities, too immersed in constant bloodshed great enough to drown the whole world that they cannot escape into more rational thought, guided by God rather than their own warped lust.

 

It also seems that truly, it is those who reject Canonism or do not truly understand it and warp it to meet their own ends that most of the violence stems from, to the point of such rampant barbarism becoming systemic. Perhaps, or almost certainly, it is the absence of God that drives the descendants to these acts from which only ever more vile acts stem from in the bitter cycle of ever increasing cruelty. For when each act is explained as simple revenge for an earlier slight, how can it end but in senseless death?

 

If this violence is ever to come to an end, there must be a way for which some can escape this bloody cycle. The method for this stems from embracing God, letting the divine scripture and the wisdom of the Church guide one’s actions, leading to a better and more wholesome life. For when God’s love fills one’s breast, the urge to share this love with others follows.

 

But while this should stem the violence, the rage, the barbarism of one’s actions and extend to the world around them, they should not rest on their laurels and forever turn the other cheek. For it is not the meek that shall inherit the world, but rather those with swords who choose not to draw them.
