religion talk

[ecks]

Yes. Yes, it is dangerous to follow rules and orders without thinking about what they mean to others. It is dangerous to the others.

[Someone else gets it!]

It's dangerous for you, too. And it's really, really unfair.

[...She doesn't get it.]

I was never hurt permanently.

[nursetemple]

Don't you think your life, without choices and just obeying orders, hurt you? It's not just about permanent damage, after all, nor is it just about physical damage.

I don't know.

[She's confused by the question.]

It was my life. It is how I became alive. I would not be alive if the person who made me did not make me to do the things he wanted me to do.

[Jesus. There is a lot here, that Claire doesn't feel qualified to unpack herself. It's way too much.]

I do believe you'd be alive, even without your creator making you obey whatever order he gave you. You seem like a strong, resilient person. But I don't want you to think you did anything wrong by following orders.

I would not be alive if he did not make me.

[Just pointing out.]

And I think I did things that were wrong. I am very sure that I did things that were wrong.

[nursetemple]

Not the same thing.

[Stop being obtuse, Ecks.]

But not because you wanted to.

[ecks]

Not because I wanted to do the bad things.

[She does agree with that.]

Because I liked following orders and knowing what to do, and I did not always know that the things I did were wrong. I know now. But I still like following orders and knowing what to do.
