[he laughs]

Hey, sure I am! Is it that hard to believe?

[HE CAN'T TELL IF YOU'RE JOKING OR LEGITIMATELY DELUSIONAL OR JUST CONFUSED.]

You are not like Jesus Christ.

[Allen's a terrible Catholic but COME ON.]

[Mix of truth and trolling man. A beautiful mix]

Jeez, you're heavy in the denial there- don't hurt yourself there kiddo.

I mean, do you want me to prove it somehow? I mean it's easier people think I'm a regular guy here- but if since you've been my roommate for so long and all...

[He's leaning towards 'delusional.']

If you want to multiply our loaves and fishes, then by all means-!

That's one of his powers? Damn, that'd be so useful...!

[ESPECIALLY WITH YOU AROUND]

Can't do that, I'm afraid. I could show you wings though.

Edited 2013-08-14 06:18 (UTC)

Jesus didn't have wings—

nor have you!

Do you know what equivalent even means?

And yeah I do.

[He'll get back to the wing thing in a second,]

Are you God?

God?

Uh no? We worship a goddess anyway.

Then you aren't 'equivalent.' [Glad we resolved that.]

If you've got wings, where are they?

Uh, isn't he the son of God? Not your god himself?

I usually keep them hidden.

He's part of God. You should do some research next time, before making ridiculous claims.

Hidden where?

Hahaha...that's pretty funny coming from you.

That's my little secret! ♥ But they are very much real.

I've never said I was God.

Uh huh... [He's not sure he believes you!!]

Neither did I! Someone told me he was the son of God, savior of mankind- and you know, that's pretty close to what I am.

Really! Come look, if there's really no wings I'll give you a hundred.

How am I supposed to believe you're anything like the Messiah!? [He's pretty sure Mankind would be screwed.]

I dunno, got any hard evidence Jesus's the Messiah?

I mean, besides scripture.

[Okay, for Allen, this has gone from somewhat amusing in its absurdity, to a bit less so.]

I know that God exists, and He does, as well.

[Which is evidence enough for him to believe it, even if he doesn't really care. Everything can't be covered in crosses for no reason!]

[He could be a jerk and point out his own true viewpoint- that that knowledge could be a lie. The Goddess Martel was proven false, other religions in Earth's history have been written off- Christianity could easily be so too. A dark part of him almost wanted it to be, religions being based on a sacrifice made him sick inside.]

[But Zelos, despite all his bitter feelings? Really isn't out to break or insult other people's faith. It's why he smile and lied with Aster, and why he bites his tongue on those thoughts too]

Well, faith works the same way in my world too. People believe me being born with a crystal means I'm the child of angels and holy, and therefore I am. That's all.

I mean, I could give you more concrete evidence if we were on Tethe'alla- scriptures and words of the church. But...I don't really have that stuff right now, sorry.

[That. . .

still doesn't sound like Jesus to Allen.

It sounds like Kaneis's world is really crazy about these crystals, though. Allen was (allegedly) born with a holy weapon, after all - that Kaneis was born with a holy crystal is easy to accept. The child of angels, though?

Just believing someone is divine doesn't mean they are.]

Do you believe it?

Edited 2013-08-15 02:09 (UTC)

[Shut up you're just denying because his power doesn't give you more food. Don't think we noticed that's the jesus miracle you remembered]

[And there's an actual surprised pause at Zelos's end, as he's taken aback. He knows the answer, but it's a new question for him. He doesn't like answering impulsively- and therefore, stall.]

...Not sure I can answer that question without pissing someone off.

Edited 2013-08-15 02:56 (UTC)

[YOU'RE USELESS.

Huh. He can make a guess, what an answer like might mean, but still.]

You're only talking to me. I won't get pissed off.

[Seriously, you've already blasphemed all over this conversation.]

[He eyes the tablet with some skepticism, like he doesn't quite believe Allen about that statement]

Alright...

[Jeez, how to even say it? A sigh]

I don't. The public and the church don't know it, but the entire system was set up by some monster with too much power. He did it to get a means to his own twisted ends.

The other Chosen One- there's two of us it's a long story, she believes there's still some goddess despite all that. That there's still a lot of good things about the teachings and good in the church. She's really incredible, everything you'd expect out of a Messiah.

But me? [a scoffing sound] I don't even believe in a goddess or god. Any religion built on the blood of another sounds like bullshit to me.

[It's kind of a relief that Kaneis doesn't buy into the whole thing (at least his roommate doesn't actually think he's some holy being...) That the religion was a sham set up by a monster, though, that's not encouraging at all.

...And he knows what that last bit was a dig at, but Allen isn't about to argue it with him.]

I'm sorry that it was like that.

But I'm glad she's able to find hope in it, still. Even if there isn't a goddess, if there really is good in the church's teachings, I think that's important.

Edited 2013-08-18 01:23 (UTC)

[Nope don't worry bro. Actually thinking you're something holy requires self esteem so we're totally safe from that delusion]

[Though he sure makes a slight face on his end] Somehow, I don't think it was your fault.

Yeah...I guess that's true. [a sigh] Don't worry, I'm not going to go out and crush anyone's belief systems just because of my own feelings.
