[ He looks pensive for a moment before he speaks again. ]
If it's not too presumptuous, I'd like to share what I've learnt from the teachers I've had in theological matters:
People like us, who are selected by the gods to carry a sliver of their power or their blessings, we exist to bear their will to the world. As such, we should always act in a manner which befits them. I don't know what your particular god or gods are like, but it is humans who assign morality to them. The gods themselves - at least in my world - are neither 'good' nor 'evil'. They exist in a constant state of flux and the absence of one causes imbalance in the world.
[ His voice grows gentle. What he has to say next isn't something people would particularly like to hear about their deities. ]
What I'm saying is that if your family have always acted in what they think is in your god's interest and the god themself hasn't intervened, it's possible that whatever happens is what the god wanted to have happen. Even if that something is war.
sorry for the wait!
