Evangelism is, in fact, a really big thing. For exactly those reasons. But, in some other ways, the church has loosened up because they're just not going to get new believers when YEAH YOU'LL BURN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY FOR BEING GAY. Not when demons are offering power as a way to survive for the easy, low, low price of your soul and eternal servitude. They don't want to make the faith hard to get into. Lots of shit about forgiveness but very anti-demon.
Question about holy powers - would it to be possible to use barriers in an offensive way, even if they aren't meant to be offensive powers?
FOR EXAMPLE: What if someone had a demon trapped against a wall, and then created a barrier 1 inch away from the wall, effectively crushing the demon between the wall and the barrier (assuming demon could not smash through the wall). Would something like that be possible?
seems like something like that should be fine? there are few enough humans with strong enough powers to do anything significant against the demons as a whole, and I'd think any demon with significant strength wouldn't have gotten himself trapped in the first place. I don't think squishing demons on a daily basis is kosher but under rare circumstances and against weak enough demons it should be at least possible...?
Okay, awesome! I was just wondering since that would be like...an offensive use of a defensive power...so I was sorta wondering if the "no offensive holy powers" thing would extend to like, perverting a defensive power to use it in an offensive way to cause direct harm... /rambles
Definitely a situational thing, but good to have confirmed as possible regardless! /o/
