She stiffened, before eventually relaxing in the embrace. Replace the word Satist with Death Eater and you'd have the truth. 'But i have made my own choice now, true belief is never enforced by fear.'

Subject: Matthew Sun Jan 06, 2013 2:32 am

"And... what is your choice?" I ask her gently.

Subject: Donia Sun Jan 06, 2013 2:35 am

'To not believe in anything.. i dont think i could.' Donia almost shivered. 'Ill just look out for myself.'

Subject: Matthew Sun Jan 06, 2013 2:39 am

How can someone go through life so... faithlessly. I know I could never manage that.

"It's a tragedy." I say with a heavy frown.

Subject: Donia Sun Jan 06, 2013 2:42 am

'Part of me... wants to believe, but i dont think its possible. I mean..i was brought up to fear the people above me, that hope was futile.' It was oddly refreshing to be honest, but she remained cautious.

Subject: Matthew Sun Jan 06, 2013 2:48 am

I shake my head immediately, "Hope is NEVER futile! NEVER."

OOC Me: "unless you're just wiping your ass with that campaign slogan that people are stupid enough to believe."

Subject: Donia Sun Jan 06, 2013 2:51 am

ooc true dat

ic 'It is when its forced out of you, when you can't rely on it anymore.' Donia stepped back, feeling uncomfortable.

Subject: Matthew Sun Jan 06, 2013 3:03 am

"Well then..." I smile at her, "Let's get it back!"

Subject: OOC Sun Jan 06, 2013 3:07 am

gtg bye

Subject: Donia Sun Jan 06, 2013 3:08 am

'how could i do that? its gone, it won't be coming back. I can just tell it won't.'
Donia knew one day she'd stop being useful to the Dark Lord, and that would be the day she died.

ooc okay pause!

"have you never heard? Hope springs eternal?"

Subject: Donia Sun Jan 06, 2013 12:04 pm

'it does? does it say so in your book?' Donia stared at the Bible again.

Subject: Matthew Sun Jan 06, 2013 5:27 pm

"Perhaps not that precise wording but for all intents and purposes it says that."

Subject: Donia Sun Jan 06, 2013 5:35 pm

'I'm not sure... i'm kinda reluctant to put faith in anything but my own abilities.' she chewed on her bottom lip, part of her was actually considering.

Don't be ridiculous, you'd practically be signing your own death sentence.

Subject: Matthew Sun Jan 06, 2013 5:44 pm

"Why don't you just hear some of it, and you can decide for yourself?" I offer warmly, as if Heaven's own warmth radiated from my heart.

Subject: Donia Sun Jan 06, 2013 5:46 pm

What have i got to lose? 'Sure, I'll give it a try.' Donia was patient, a skill she'd picked up from years of manipulation. But she wasn't going to attempt anything, not this time anyway.

Subject: Matthew Sun Jan 06, 2013 5:56 pm

I clear my throat and open to the very beginning, Genesis:

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day."

'God gave dominion over the animals to human beings, interesting..' she thought about it, listening carefully. Donia personally felt it was more of a story, but she was respectful enough not to say anything.

Subject: Matthew Sun Jan 06, 2013 6:03 pm

"Wish you to hear more?"

Subject: Donia Sun Jan 06, 2013 6:05 pm

'I think I've heard enough..' she offered him a polite smile, before asking her next question. 'Why do you believe in God?'

Subject: Matthew Sun Jan 06, 2013 6:12 pm

"Why do I believe in God?" I ask again as if to make sure I heard her right.

Subject: Donia Sun Jan 06, 2013 6:13 pm

'Yeah..' she repeated, feeling almost embarrassed for asking.

Subject: Matthew Sun Jan 06, 2013 6:15 pm

I smile at her completely innocently, "I have absolute no idea. That's how faith works, you don't need reasons, you just need belief."

Subject: Donia Sun Jan 06, 2013 6:16 pm

'I guess that's how my parents would describe it too, apart from with them you'd be forced to believe what they wanted you to believe without explanation.'

Subject: Matthew Sun Jan 06, 2013 6:18 pm

"For me personally, the Lord lead me to my adoptive family. Because I believed in Him."
