Is there religion in Lura? -part one-

Posted: under Uncategorized.
Tags: Cirellio, Lura, style, write

The only truly governing religion is ‘superstition’ in Lura, but it has manifested itself in many ways.

Atheism:
There are no true atheists (as we know them) in Lura. With religion simply defined as ‘a belief’, if you tried to claim yourself as one, it would be seen as a joke in Lura. Not believing in something there is, by definition, ‘a belief’.

The existance of god-like beings is almost universally accepted.

Fatalism:
Fatalists believe everything that has ever been or ever will be is written by the ‘Pensman’. He writes high above us on the parchment of space. The stars in the sky are seen as ‘bleed-throughs’; us underneath the parchment. Hence ‘written in the stars’. Their religion is rather bleak; their minds riddled with pessimistic sayings such as “The world is a catacomb”, and they do not believe in an afterlife. Rather, they share the belief: how you felt before you were born is the same way you will feel after death.
“Do you remember what it was like before you were born?”

You do not and will not remember it, so what happens in life is all that matters. They hold you always do exactly as good as you could have—given the circumstances—in any given situation. For instance, if you are lazy, it is due to surrounding circumstances and the will of the Pensman—you simply could not have been ‘not lazy’ during that time period due to fate.

Their religion channels energy from Anima Mundi.
