"It's already weird that they have teachings."

"I take it you'd describe the - expressed preferences - of the gods here in some other way."

"Commands. Laws, sometimes."

"Golarion gods have those, but they're - narrower - I do what Iomedae commands of her followers because I'm Hers but there is plenty that could be adopted piecemeal as advice, on top of or instead of those, and I think that's a normal layperson approach."

"Well. There might be something. I'm not the most charitable toward gods. But I haven't heard of anything like that."

"Like, I'm not allowed to lie - unless the rules are different for paladins and clerics, but I'm presuming they're the same to be safe until I get a chance to ask, which I suppose now might be never - and someone who wasn't representing themselves as an empowered Iomedaean could still gather that She recommends honesty, but they're not - in Her chain of command, is I guess the analogy in our case, other churches would probably put it differently - like I'd imagine an Abadaran would say that you can take Abadar's advice but if you aren't in His employ it's not binding on you."
