Both men and women end up in the ground. Only a tiny minority of women will hear Frya's call.

Burchfam said:In Famism we are taught that only women have the inate ability to transend the physical realm if they so choose. I know this must be very controversial, but if the universe really is set up this way then there is nothing that can be done about it. We have to make the most of what we've got.

That depends. I know some people who have lived a good part of thier life as hitmen, drug dealers, and have been in trouble with the cops many, many times. (They have ties in higher places so it's never more than a trip to jail and a quick release as soon as they're there.) They have no regrets about thier life.Being a nice person makes our life on earth better.

vandervalley said:So how does Famism explain the fact that some die of misfortune and hunger while others enjoy riches of the world?
Does "Famist' Godesses control that?
