Re: Re:*in a dangerously sweet voice*Zoe guess what?

Just to help back up Sam a bit, the Christians of that time period (or a bit earlier, I dont really know when Australia was being settled) fully believed that if you were not a baptized Christian, you would go straight to hell when you died. This is why they were so "persistent" if you will about converting others, even if this meant by the sword. Now of course I dont agree with this, but it is *somewhat* explainable given that they truly believed this, and thus their fervid faith somewhat blinded their sense of morals(?) Same with the puritans and such, they fully believed they were helping the people in the long run.

They all gazed at him. His hair was white as snow in the sunshine; and gleaming white was his robe; the eyes under his deep brows were bright, piercing as the rays of the sun; power was in his hand. Between wonder, joy, and fear they found no words to say. 'I have passed through fire and deep water, since we parted. I have forgotten much that I thought I knew, and learned much that I had forgotten. I can see things far off, but many things close at hand I cannot see. I shall tell you of my tales at <a href=http://pub58.ezboard.com/bsuldalskeep>Sûldal's Keep</a> ." </p>
