Sermons of the Ordo

[AnaJuli]

We are soldiers, few in number - this is true. But we contain an advantage that no other man, nor woman, have been witnessed to possess. We have the faith of our deity. The Great Shadow prevails for us, just as we prevail for him. He supports us, he guides us, he protects us and fights for us in his own terms as we conquer the world in His name. We are not alone, contrary to belief.
When the word “spiritual” or “religious” comes to mind we assume it is merely a one sided relationship in which the believers and devotees are oppressed by their own need to be watched over by a supernatural being out of their own personal desires. In other terms the worshipers are mindless and terrified of facing reality on their lonesome and have configured a way to strive forth with their head held high because a “God” stands high in the clouds above them and watches their persons.
Some consider it to be abnormally.. Childish, in terms or otherwise down right depressing. And to be quite honest for most cases it is exactly that - childish and depressing. I was one such believer, I did not consider religion could be taken so seriously.
That is... Until I met those gathered around me. Such people introduced me to a whole other world, they fed my curiosity with answers, and it is such answers that I believe anyone would hold dear to their hearts - therefore I unleash the words of those around me to also extend their wisdom unto you all.
