"The One True God, yes," he said, and then he frowned. "Have I said that nothing out there exists?" That wasn't what he believed at all. There were other Gods.. they were simply false. Yes, they might be powerful in their own rights, but only the Father was the one who held the gate for eternal forgiveness. Eternal happiness. And then the stranger proceeded to feed him a load of bullshit that made Andrei fight to control his annoyance. Why was he so easily pushed on by this man?
"You make many assumptions. You can think what you will of me, but you've not asked me if that is what I believe. You've simply decided for me. So aren't you the one placing me in a box? Aren't you the one being black and white?"
He didn't like being called those things, for despite the beliefs of his religion (and its cult-like status), Andrei burned with a bright fire.. one that wasn't ignorant or self-righteous at all. His face softened with the change in tone. "I'm saved already, and I wish you weren't intent on destroying yourself." A quizzical look crossed his face with the age question. He wasn't one to usually give out that information, but something made him spit it out this time. "27."
