Dream?[]
"A mysterious voice speaks to Institoris: Everything is special about you. Why did you say such a thing, tell me why? Institoris is crying as he speaks to the mysterious woman while she reveals herself as Amelia: The reason that I asked is because nobody likes me anymore, Amelia. NOBODY LIKES MEEEEEEEEE! [He is still crying as hard and heavy as he could while Amelia consoles him." (source)
The above was added soon after I had Institoris wondering "what is special about me". The reason why he was not inactivated during the emergency shutdown of robots in Purgatory was that the brain circuit that normally would have allowed for his inactivation by remote control had been removed from his brain.
Sometimes I wonder if robots that are being used as hosts for human minds should have a need to sleep. If so, then the above interaction between Institoris and Amelia might take place in a dream during which the Overseer is examining Institoris' thoughts. --JWSchmidt 21:18, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
Thoughts concerning the Sermon...[]
Given who Brother Insitoris is wouldn't he have something to say about heretics (or for that matter modern cults)? Something following on from the stuff on witchcraft, possibly dialogue like "You have let false prophets esposue and equivocate heretical, nay blasphemous diversions from the true word, to seek recognition that should only to the divine be grant."
I've phrased the above, based on the fact that given his zeal as a theologian, he'd draw from Biblical inspiration, and a slightly older English ( Bearing in mind it's Newton he's been talking with at one point).

- I tried to provide an introduction to Insitoris on the meta page which provides a link to a particularly good online resource with the text of his famous book, the Malleus Maleficarum. Insitoris is known for his witch hunting, but during his life he was mostly concerned with confronting heretics and defending Roman Catholicism against the rising tide of Protestantism. So far, the Sermon from Purgatory only has a concise harangue from Insitoris. I'm not good at creating such a rant. Particularly for the audio version, the goal is to have Insitoris incite the faithful on Earth to strike out violently against sinners, heretics, "witches" and other "evil doers" who are mentioned in the radio "Sermon" by Insitoris. The "Sermon" has Insitoris complaining about abortion, homosexuality and witchcraft. Heretics in general, and specific cults in particular, would be good to include in the "Sermon". I agree that it would be a good touch to make the language that he uses seem somewhat archaic to the modern ear. The bulk of his book, the Malleus Maleficarum, is a scholarly effort to cite the Bible and other religious texts in support of his conceptualization of witches. In his "Sermon", it would be good to have him mention or quote some of his favorite Church authorities. --JWSchmidt 13:47, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
