2405.8, The Swedish Nation - Crusaders

Ruatha sat in his comfy armchair talking with the foreign minister.
The Foreign minister turned towards Ruatha;
"-What should we do with this religion problem!

"-The tradition and all reason says that they should be exterminated. But we have met four religious races so far, there seems to be plenty of them in the universe.
Perhaps religion is something common, and not as we thought, something rare!


"-Yes, but that just makes it more dangerous!
Now we must watch every step we take in the universe, waiting for an armed conVersion attempt.
Let's kill em first!


"-We can't!
We might be powerful, but not that powerful. One of these religious races is powerful enough to kill us by themselfs, let's not think about how a four front war would be...

"-What should we do then?


"-We'll continue strengthening our defences, and hope that these religious races will try to convert each others first.


"-Yes, the old books says something like that. That the religious ones hates other religions even more than those who have no faith. Let's hope that's the case.


"-Yes, hope is wath we will have to put our trust in for a while!


"-Do I sense a hint of religion there?


The foreign minister smiled as he left the room.
