Ceremonial Faith

[Arryn]

Caine,

By that logic, the priests shouldn't be able to bring her back at all, for their power, derived from the god itself, would vanish upon the deity's demise. OTOH, if mortals (priests in this case) create their deity through their own power, then they can certainly invest themselves with extra power too. It either works one way, or the other. If the system is logically self-consistent.

Of course, I'm a firm believer in that there's no such thing as logical self-consistency with regards to the subject of religion, but that's a taboo subject here (and my thoughts on religion and politics are by now fairly well known to folks here).
