00:00:00.000And it's a it's a point of contention I have with a lot of the faith community and specifically I've heard a lot of Christian faith leaders propose that their religion is the only thing that, you know, would help mankind know the difference between right and wrong.
00:00:18.220And I think that, you know, I would like to, I would like to, and it'd be a cool selling point to say that, you know, you need Alcetru or else you have to be a terrible person.
00:00:31.400But I think that human experience and common sense tells us that's not the case.
00:00:35.560I think Alcetru does a lot to maximize being a good person, but on basic things, we have an inborn sense of right and wrong.
00:00:45.220And specifically, us as a folk have an inborn nobility to recognize good and bad behavior.
00:00:54.120And unfortunately, and Katie brought this up a little bit, too, with the different historical situations.
00:01:00.680Context is everything. And what may have been a good thing to do in 750 is not necessarily a good thing to do in 2022.
00:01:09.420too. It's the challenge of our folk to be able to use wisdom to pick the right action in the right
00:01:20.980time. That's so much of the rune, Rido, which is the rune of our priesthood, is the right action
00:01:27.100at the right time. There's much in Ausitru to teach you how to be a good person. And, you know,
00:01:34.700I'd say there's much in Christianity that goes beyond, you know, just 10 commandments that
00:01:39.440teaches you a way of living. Certainly in Ausatru, the example of our ancestors,
00:01:45.580the wisdom of our Gothar and our leaders, the counseling of our Gothar and leaders,
00:01:53.280and thousands of years of our history inform us very well on actions that are
00:02:00.280noble-hearted and actions that aren't. And Alistair True does a good job in emphasizing those
00:02:06.880because the values are eternal, whereas the actions, you know, have a lot of situation to
00:02:12.840them. But because Alistair True is a traditional faith, that tradition, these values have been
00:02:19.740eternal since the dawn of our folk and will continue into the future. It's a matter of
00:02:24.560interpreting the situation and how to enact those in the situation that we're in.
