Void

I appreciate the coldly experimental aspects of faith that Atrium Carceri postulates here. What if we plunged a people into endless despair, then offered them glimmers of hope? How would their spirituality develop? And if the answers are unclear this time, we can always just rerun the experiment from the beginning…. Dave Aftandilian
