[There is something very ironic about Richard being perceived religious. As in his own world he has been rumored to be the opposite of that. A heretic that worships the sin and demon rather than the Lord and light. Of course, neither of those claims were true. While he was certainly not a pious or devout man the fear of god had been rooted very deeply within his consciousness that despite looking for always looking for ways to betray the God, he would not be foolish enough to attract the divine attention and punishment by resolving to practice the forbidden arts.

So, it is more than just little jarring to hear a man describe a culture where things seemed to be exact opposite. The frown on Richard's face deepens and lips curl into firm but thoughtful line, holding back any expression that might show the other man sign of weakness or fear.]

Magic and miracles are power only reserved to The Divine. It is a man's place to pray and follow the order of the almighty. I do not understand why would your God welcome a mere mortal, a creature that is so foolish and born with a sin, wield such might that could potentially grow and disturb the order of the world.
