[assassino]

So if people of your time are not Christians or Moslem, what do they adhere to?

[molotov]

Oh, we have Christians and Muslims. The majority of the world is religious. But the Catholic foothold is much smaller now, particularly in more progressive nations.

And where I was born, there was no religion at all. It was illegal.

[assassino]

[Oh God he's so confused.]

If there is no religion where you were born, what do people believe in?

[molotov]

Nothing. There is no afterlife, no greater force or man in the sky pulling the strings. Your morals and actions are your own.

I suppose some still held to the old beliefs, the church, but they were not allowed to openly say so, let alone hold services or celebrations.

[assassino]

[What...]

I can imagine the benefits of abandoning the church, but there was an angel here, as well as the Serpent of Eden. How can people believe there is no God?

[molotov]

I can say I am the queen of England, but that does not make it true.

[assassino]

[But they were so convincing :(]

I see.

Well, I'm glad if women are happier in your time.

[molotov]

[Molotov told God to his face that he wasn't real.]

They most certainly are. Keep it in mind if any women from your time show up.

[assassino]

There is a woman from my time here. If anything, I'm more welcoming to this development than she is.

[molotov]

Well.

Then probably she should be killed. [SHRUG. Molotov is a feminist but also a terrible person.]

[assassino]

[Defensive]

Absolutely not. What kind of logic is that?

[molotov]

If you are not an asset to the cause, then you are an enemy to be terminated.

[assassino]

So the answer is for women to become more violent than men so that they might achieve power? It would serve no purpose. If the women of your time would kill another woman for being weak, then men are right to protect and provide for women. It would be better than a meaningless execution by a new tyrant.

[molotov]

I would kill a man for being weak, too. If anyone at all prefers their slavery to freedom, then they do not deserve to live.

[assassino]

And if they do not know that they are slaves? You said it yourself; many women do not rebel because they have been led to believe there is no cause to.

[molotov]

If someone explains otherwise, and tells you that it will happen, and that it will change the world, and still you would object? That is preferring the slavery.

[assassino]

[He folds his arms.]

I was willing to entertain the idea, but even if others do not, they should not be condemned for it. Forcing others to join your cause on pain of death is tyranny.

[molotov]

My cause has to do with the liberation of more than half the world's population. I have no problem killing anyone who stands in my way, for any reason. If it is tyranny to want what is best for an entire gender, then call me a tyrant. Being a tyrant is not so bad -- the death that comes from opposing me is far worse.

[assassino]

It does not concern you that you'll be creating enemies in the process?

[molotov]

[She gives him a sort of wry smirk.] If enemies bothered me, I would not be the person that I am.

[assassino]

[Unimpressed.]

Of course.

So why are you the first to mention this? No woman –– or man –– has corrected me.

[molotov]

In Paradisa, the subject does not come up very much. Because of the different worlds and the varying years we were taken from, there seems to just be a natural equilibrium, where everyone takes care of themselves, instead of depending on a social system.

I would assume you have just not found the opportunity to learn about it.

[assassino]

That is possible, I suppose.

[molotov]

There are many real world issues that are rare to discuss in Paradisa. The debt crisis, the obesity epidemic, Somali pirates.

[assassino]

[Wha...]

Well, I am not surprised at obesity being a problem. The people of the future live on such decadent terms. In my time, only the extremely rich could afford enough food to be fat.
