It sounds familiar. Many religions have an apocalypse, many go on about casting down the wicked and raising the righteous. This doctrine seems to still praise the 'good' (in so far as the Troll religion of Messiahs holds what is 'good') yet punishes all regardless, or deems no one as good, instead using everyone as sacrifices to the new world order. He says we are not worthy, but also speaks of a chosen people, a family that by his logic no one now living would be a part of.

It doesn't seem to be a very comforting or uplifting religion to Albert.

"And we are not part of the family? Is none of the reward for us but to bring about the future?" Uplifting or not, he can see it as a parallel of life. Troll culture, as it's been described to him in bits and pieces, is a savage thing, full of death and calamity. It makes sense that a religion created in such a society would tout the outcome of death as more important than the potential deaths of those who believe.

"Forgive me, I mean no blasphemy. I am trying to understand."
