Do you not try to heal the gash recieved by sword? Does it not fester and rot if you pick and pry at it too much? The Kami try to preserve themselves from their fate as much by fighting the goo as by devouring souls. I must say, the two are the same to them.
So what you are saying is that the body of the Kami is the world of Atys? That they pick and pry at the wound inflicted upon them? If so you may like to rethink your position against them! And devouring souls is it, now!? Why, next you'll be scaring small children with tales of the Shadowragus under the bed!
My point was that the Karavan do nothing to stop the spread of Goo or to get homins to do so, even though they recognise it as a threat!
I have no love for the Kami but I do not delude myself into believing that they would actively harm homins. Also with the Karavan we have on our planet. Both sides seem friendly towards homins and, until I have proof otherwise, why should I rise against one side or the other? I will not be goaded by rumour.
I think what you say is true: old habits die hard. It seems built into the nature of homins that they must fight.

Respecting beliefs is one thing. Making sure your belief does not impinge on others is the kindest courtesy one can pay and this seems to have been thrown aside in favour of some sort of holy war between the "gods"! I offer no proof but what your eyes can see, your ears hear and more importantly what your heart feels and mind understands. I am all for proof, but we have none and, until we do, I am unwilling to commit myself to such a fight as brews here. One based on nothing more than smoke and shadows.

I look to Fyrosian scholars for that help *a visible shiver crosses over him, an indication that he is not fully comforable with some paths taken*, and what are you doing? You rally homins to supposed peace, and then claim you will kill homin before fighting for a cause? I'm sorry, but that makes no sense. If you want to join my cause, then help me find the truth. If not, take your peace far far away and pray for your souls. Oh, I forget, you have no one to pray to. Then you will die without enlightenment.
Hmmm, it seems you have concluded from my previous statement that I will kill homins before fighting for a cause? Of course it makes no sense, I never said that! I propose peace, nothing more, nothing less. I am against the war; either sides version of it, until I have firm proof of where the truth lies. You are the one who said that we must "destroy" the Kami! Yet you then go on to say that you yourself do not have enough information to go on and have to visit scholars to help provide that information. Yet you are still willing to go to war without it!
And then, to cap it all off you attempt to insult my passage to enlightenment! *chuckles* I am not old enough yet to be wise but it seems that my path takes me where yours will not. My enlightenment will come from knowledge, not belief. My wisdom will come from learning and exploring, not destroying and spreading rumour. My soul will find it's peace through homins, not false gods and spirits.
A simple exercise for you. A Karavan, a kami and a homin are standing behind you when suddenly you are hit by a rock. Looking round, you find all three looking innocently at you. The Karavan says the Kami did it, the Kami says the Karavan did it. The homin says he didn't see it happen. Who is to blame?
