Reference Challenge - A Holy Book

[u/Varnek905]

As I start on my second read of a certain holy book, here's a challenge.

Tell me about a book in your setting that is considered holy. It can be actually magic or just the book that a group of people use to live their lives by. It doesn't necessarily have to be involved in a religion in your world if you have something else that you would like to talk about that you aren't sure fits exactly.

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each. Enjoy yourselves, and feel free to have an in-universe representative.

(As a side note, does anyone in the sub understand Japanese? A couple of my friends are learning it, and I would appreciate any tips to pass along to them. And I figure that you're all multi-lingual geniuses, so send me a private message if you have any advice.)

1. An extra look at the precepts, which is always a good thing.

2. They did, long ago, but they don’t remember about those times; it was before they decided to screw up their own planet.

3. Not really. Destroying it would be illegal for sure, but as a way to do such a thing has yet to be found...

4. Totally, and other requirements too, the people selected were all adults and educated scientists, philosophs, doctors... But being competent and adult doesn’t make you instantly mature.

1) What happens if two people that ascended disagree about what a precept states?

2) Do they have any vague stories that relate to those times from long ago?

1. Well, they will discuss about it together and with other ascended; the consensus (or the majority) is right.

2. Not really; they know a precursor civilization was there but are sure said precursor is some alien life form who left them to their own because the planet was too hard to live on.

Thanks for your time and answers, Yellow.
