Oh let's do stop with this nonsense.

Another Angel. Really. Honestly, the lot of you should realize that it gets less and less interesting and arresting when there's already so many of you claiming the same thing.

There may be a vast assortment of dunderheads on this ship that believe you, but that just means you're taking advantage, and you could stand at least to be creative about it.

We really need some variety on this ship. Some Nymphs and demigods, perhaps? Just for a change of pace.

Perhaps I used the wrong word. I merely meant creatures of myth. You don't believe in those?

Let me make my stance perfectly clear, Monsieur. Nature suffices unto herself and has no real need of a maker, and we, being part of that, are not meant to know everything, but should not be so stupid as to assume that those things we do not understand are to be attributed to something looming somewhere beyond nature.

And I would find it just as absurd for a person to come here claiming to be a satyr as it would be for them to claim to be an angel, because it would be equally absurd to hear a person come here and inform the lot of us that they are human.

Some may feel they have to announce it because they've had to remain hidden or pretend they don't exist to the general human population.

For fear of persecution, reprisal, et cetera et cetera yes yes.

Where I come from, we have a name for people such as that.

Foolish old-fashioned cowards springs to mind.

Atheist is a word more often used.

Repercussion meant the crunch of a dropping blade where I come from, Monsieur.

So you only don't believe in the religious icons?

I think religion has outlived its usefulness.

I never was very religious myself.
