How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World[part1]

Chapter 49: Seven Deadly Sins (2)

'God' is a spiritual existence that is more dependable to believers than anyone else. Even if they don't appear directly, they firmly believe that they exist and spread the teachings of the gods widely to make the world a better place.

However, this is only a story of the "earth," and in this world, one can never deny the existence of the gods. The moment one directly denies the gods, divine punishment falls, and through the special power called "sacred power," they reveal their existence.

In this way, denying the gods in this world is an impossible thing and has become a catalyst for the significant development of "theology." Theology is an essential study for people in this world regardless of their race, and it is one of the things that priests must learn.

However, even though theology has developed, there are many shortcomings in various ways. It deals with how to interpret the divine trust and what teachings the gods gave to their believers in history.

It can be called chaotic and can also be said to have no "framework." Historically, many scholars and philosophers have made numerous efforts to create this "framework," but almost all of them have given up.

The history of gods has been with humans longer than anyone can imagine, and it was challenging to establish the teachings they received during that history because there were so many of them.

As a result, theology can also be seen as a kind of history, but many clergy firmly believe that there will come a chance to reestablish the discipline someday. It is not just about the history of God being with people, but true 'theology.'

And the fruit of that waiting is just beginning to bear now.

"Is it really a sin to simply have these sins? I do not think so. In fact, even Lumineus had once been jealous of Mora. But he did not commit the sin directly."

"Does the sin become established only if you commit an action with that sin?"

"Yes. However, if you continue to hold onto that sin, even if it's temporary, it will also become a sin.

Overall, people dressed in white clothes on a white background were discussing fervently with a round table in between them. Most of them were elderly with white hair and deep wrinkles, and their clothes bore the symbol of the denomination embroidered in golden thread.

The followers of the Luminous faith, who possess the greatest power in this world, were not simple devotees, but rather influential bishops and professors who taught theology within the church.

It wasn't particularly unusual for them to gather in one place to discuss, but there was a difference from before: they were passionately exchanging their opinions. Usually, the bishops would gather periodically and go through formal procedures, but there was almost no real gain from it.

However, now it was completely different. Various opinions were exchanged like a dam burst open, and counterarguments poured out without end.

"Especially, we must pay attention to the sin of pride. As you all know, from ancient times, those who were prideful inevitably fell. You only need to look at the elves nearby. This author also put an elf as the demon of pride because they know this."

"Pride... we need to investigate other sins to be sure, but we cannot deny the sin of pride. Even the Luminous instructed us not to be proud and to always remain humble."

"Regarding pride, that may be so, but how should we explain the other sins?"

The reason why the archbishops gathered in one place to discuss was none other than the contents of Xenon's Biography mentioned this time. In the recently published Xenon's Biography, demon executives appeared, and Isaac incorporated the concept of the '"Seven Deadly Sins'.
