How'd that work in the first chapter?
And? That was one person. We talking about the most effective way to gain faith in gods, and doing it while people are still living and publicly, not just for the final moment privately.

Interestingly, that would seem to tilt things in the direction of the Milgram Experiment, in that people will tend to Follow Orders, even if directed to act in immoral ways.

Which is a different, but related, environmental factor for behavior, and still supports the core of Tanya's spiel.
It is strange how the author is willing to just throw out scientific experiments and admit they were debunked without completing the message.

both sides believe that people are controlled by circumstance, but the act of resisting, if Tanya actually succeeds, will indicate a future where neither side can control humanity's direction

I love the expressions on page 2: Respect, Admiration, Reverence and Yukari XD

Also I like how Tanya and Being X are almost friends at this point. Just two stubborn and fallible beings, putting up with one another.

And the story makes its case pretty clear. The modern man, having lived in comfort, does not believe even when presented with evidence. He insists that what he sees is not God, but the devil, a phenomena he can name as he pleases. But the rest of the cast, who have not had a god come by to chat, they believe. They don't need proof, it's born from their circumstances; as this chapter says, people are defined by their environment. In the context of the story, war is a demonstrably effective method of generating faith, while showing up in person is not, because how much a person is willing to believe is dependent on how badly they need to believe.

never played jrpg before? and knowing humanity, they would not only try to kill a higher being but also try to take that power to them self.
I just wanted to buy a couple af things from the store and suddenly I have to kill God.
