Really? Maybe the Church actually murdered all the magic in your world early on, then. They're definitely trying to get close to doing it in mine.

[untiltheend]

They did not. [He says without offering any explanation as to why he's so sure of that. Sebastian may or may not be old enough to pre-date Christianity, but either way he definitely knows other demons that are.]

The witch trials that once took place in England as well as in other countries were acts of superstition, ignorance, and outdated attitudes towards women, nothing more.

Mostly women. A few men. Some children.

And ignorance of what? Witches are real. Demons, vampires, both are real. The fact that the Church can't seem to mark one for their fucking lives does nothing to prevent my people living in terror.

We do come from different worlds, sir. I am not trying to imply witches are not real in yours - in mine, however, they are not.

Although I suppose one thing that remains consistent across worlds is the clergy of all religions being driven by ignorance and incompetence both.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Maybe there's one world out there where the Church does more good than evil.

Ahh, who knows... In my world, at least, religious institutions have done much to preserve literature and art throughout the ages, much of which is quite enjoyable to partake in, so at least they are not all bad.

[He nods, not knowing much from art or literature but loving people who do. He halts at the beginning of a cave entrance]

I hear voices. We're getting close.
