It is a convention of language to refer to the Light as loving, punishing, forgiving, or scorning, but evidence seems to suggest -- and theologians have already argued -- that such expressions are creatively anthropomorphic. It is a popular opinion within the Church that the Light ~~is above~~ does not have opinions or emotions such as those of gods or (troll deity thingies). Instead, theologians prefer to characterize the Light as an opinion or emotion. This theory tends to take three forms using three different senses of the word "love." First, the Light may be an opinion, the love of good thoughts and actions. Second, the Light may be a universal, brotherly love among beings. Third, the Light may be a universal, motherly love towards beings.

Current Mood: working

The Common word good has many ambiguities. For instance, when one says the Light is good, he usually means that the Light has absolute, positive ethic value. However, if one says chocolate is good, he usually means that it brings comfort and pleasure.

We who follow the faith of the Light are ~~indoctr~~ taught that the Light is absolute ethic good. This belief dictates that those who utilize the Light must be good and that those who are destroyed by it must be evil. This seems a sufficient theory for ~~humans~~ those who live in cities under the Light, protected by paladins who shield them from the undead and lose their powers if they stray from goodness.

But at times, this theory seems to ~~be inconsistent~~ fall short of a wholly satisfying explanation regarding some phenomena of the ~~larger~~ world.

Listen Astrolabe.

I talked to my friend the undead human. We talked about the Light and I found more words. I write them before I forget them.

The human and quel'dorei Churches talk about the Light that punishes, forgives, and loves. But we do not believe it feels things like a person feels. Our Light does not have an opinion. The Aldor say the Light is goodness and love. But we do not believe this because the feeling is not the same as love, and paladins and priests kill each other with the same Light hatefully.
