[quote=@Garth] I'm a little nervous about answering this IC. I worry that it could start a real ooc debate and I'm not interested in that. Later today I will answer in it IC. But... Well, I hope you know what I'm saying. People might have real feelings about the subject and sometimes I've seen it get out of hand in other games, other boards. [/quote] No worries about OOC conflict on my end, Garth. My character and I are separate entities. Even if I were narcissistic enough to impose my personal world view onto his actions unnecessarily, I would like to think that I could keep my IC and OOC apart. You've also got to think, the universe in which Keystone (as well as the rest of the characters) lives has verifiable evidence of the existence of gods. Repeatable, peer-reviewable evidence backed up by millennia of documentation. Keystone isn't an atheist; he believes that gods exist. He simply refuses to follow any of them, for his own reasons. If it comes up in IC, it's a unique explanation. Truth be told, this conversation (provided the RP goes along far enough, maybe to sequel) will be noted as a moment of great irony for Keystone.
