Hi Zoran:

You keep insisting that introducing faith into an investigative game renders it unplayable, and I know from experience that is not true. For some reason you seem to have the idea fixed in your head that once faith is introduced into this type of game, that all the characters must only rely on faith to solve any problems. You took my example of the Jesuit scientists in a different way than I intended. I meant that the Jesuit scientist (by this I mean any character) is able to use his critical abilities to decide whether the particular situation requires thought and reason, faith alone, or some particular mixture of the two. They are not blind automatons unable to see a situation only through the lenses of faith. They are human beings - or some reasonably close equivalent - able to choose ther own course. This hardly dooms every game which introduces faith.

I doubt very much I am reaching you, as you seem totally fixated on this, and as we all know arguments on teh internet are futile. I just want to state my own case.
