They’ve replaced whatever theology they’d had with a new, all-purpose, non-defined “goodnessTM”, which they call the Light of All Life. It serves the psychological function of having a “higher power” to which one can appeal in trying times, without making any specific demands on one’s life, and it doesn’t have any specific theological principles so it can’t ever contradict anybody else’s beliefs.
It is the sort of belief which Matt Inman jokingly referred to as “your spiritual onesie” (see his funny video about Jibbers Crabst, if you haven’t already).
It’s actually a great representation of spirituality, which many people don’t realize has nothing to do with religion. Religion is just a method to teach or try to provide rules to be spiritual. You don’t need religion though to be a spiritual person.
So is anyone but me getting a REALLY strong “A-Team” vibe of this?
“In a time sometime ago, a crack commando holy order of nuns was sent to prison by their new messiah for a crime they absolutely did commit. These women promptly repented their sins escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Wood Elven Canopy. Today, still wanted by the human government they survive by helping whoever, and whenever, they can. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them….maybe you can submit to the F Team….(hey, maybe we should pick a different name? Nunya Bidness team? The Slaughter Nuns?

I… Really dislike Frigg. I deal with a player that acts like that and she’s incredibly annoying- so much so I’m contemplating removing her from my group. I have spoken to her about being less abrasive and it seems to go through one ear and out the other.
Pray to the hand.
*spirit fingers* ;)
Sometimes…Just sometimes…The person’s spirit alone is enough to do the job.
“That makes it weird”?
Nah, pretty sure Frigg is totally a dom.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Why pray to something when you’ve metaphorically killed your god.
What really is the bleeding fucking point of that.
Self-reassurance? Absolution of responsibility for unfavourable outcomes? A really intense religion paraphilia?
Hopeful emergence of a new god formed from the ideals contained in the prayers?

It is like trying to be religiously agnostic… or how to have your cake and eat it too.
Naw man, it’s the *LIGHT*.
You know, the hammershit light!
Definitely worshipable.
Just going to leave this here….
The gang is all getting back together.
Now I just wonder what Sundar the Sundarian is up to.
It looks like Frigg got a chance to write the alt-text.
Frigg’s not just your sister, gals – more like your hero eldest sis. Or auntie.
Aunti-hero
I did not see that coming.
*glares at you as he grudgingly slow claps*
Frigg had a sister.
A true sister.
She’s done with that.
It hurts too much.
That’s not her “Deadly-Sneering-Face-Of-Disdain”.
That’s her “I’m-Doing-You-A-Favour-By-Not-Telling-You” face.
Frigg, the frigging frigual tension is frigh, what with all the frigmission. Though I frigspect that Frigg frikes when someone frights for friginance.
(I like to imagine this is how Frig interprets the world)
So she’s a smurf?
…A bloody, bloody red Smurf…
Of friggin course Frigg’s a friggin frigg! Frigg it!

The player acts like that? Or her characters act like that? The former is annoying, the latter is plot-fodder…
The answer is yes.
Yes to the player.
Yes to the character.
