re: #80 Scottishdragon

I think Rod was enthused on the slow pace and the chance to contemplate your place with God in some sort of daily communion without distraction.. except for the diseases, poor nutrition, lack of any education whatsoever, losing half your kids before they become adults, the local noble claiming your grain and fruit as well as the only cow you had, not to mention random rape, terror and whatnot as the Reformation got into high gear and Catholic or Orthodox heretics (like Rod!) kept ending up burning at the stake for public amusement.

Sacramental time is obviously awesome.

So what is stopping Rod from setting aside some time every day to commune with God? Maybe the time he spends telling everyone else about how terrible modern life is could be repurposed?

If he thinks medieval peasants were spending their time meditating on their relationship with the Almighty, I have a bridge he might like to buy.
Even in the 1600s the largely illiterate peasantry had, for the most part, no conception of any theology beyond not offending God so He wouldn’t send a plague or kill their children or cause them a debilitating injury, and so they could go to heaven when they died.
