Perhaps it was. There was only one basic tenet: Do more good than harm. There were other aspects—the belief that all truth was important, the requirement to give more than one took.

In other times, in another world.</p><p>The Path was to study them, learn from their moral codes. A few rules were central. Do not seek lust without commitment. See the strengths in all flaws. Pray and meditate fifteen minutes a day. And don’t waste time worshipping Harmony. Doing good was the worship.</p><p>(Mistborn 4 by Brandon Sanderson)</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/PocketsReads" rel="tag">#<span>PocketsReads</span></a></p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/a6e782c2-8151-4753-8c5e-abcaea62508f/steris-had-called-the-path-a-simple-religion.</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 20:11:13 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/a6e782c2-8151-4753-8c5e-abcaea62508f.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 02:10:58 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Steris had called the Path a simple religion. on Fri, 22 May 2026 09:13:27 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>“Logic doesn’t work on Wayne.”<br />“I bought a ward against it off a traveling fortune-teller,” Wayne explained. “It lets me add two ’n’ two and get a pickle.”<br />“I … have no response to that,” Marasi said.<br />“Technically that was a response,” Wayne said.</p><p>(Mistborn 4 by Brandon Sanderson)</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/PocketsReads" rel="tag">#<span>PocketsReads</span></a></p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://lgbtqia.space/users/pockets/statuses/116617458975132042</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://lgbtqia.space/users/pockets/statuses/116617458975132042</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[pockets@lgbtqia.space]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 22 May 2026 09:13:27 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Steris had called the Path a simple religion. on Fri, 22 May 2026 08:19:05 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>"I have done something to help.
