If you believe in the Temple's God, then your fate was sealed before your first breath. Struggling is rebellion, and rebellion was also fated. The chain loops both ways.
And if you don't believe, then you are a husk of cause and effect, spit out by a blind universe. There are no endless possibilities, only a fate determined by your biology and your environment.

If the Temple's God says darkness is light, then what use is your sight? The sun itself could be declared wicked, and you would be blessed to burn it down.
In that, your conscience or reason doesn't matter. So then, what is morality? Just a set of arbitrary rules? There is no Good and Bad. Only Sin and Virtue.
And what are sins and virtues but reward and punishment, humans fulfilling their self-interest.
If you don't believe in Him, then what is morality? You have nothing to say other than self-interest either.

If a man is slaughtered, he'll go to heaven if he's good and to hell if he's evil. So why cry in the face of death? Why fear it, seek refuge from it, or seek revenge for it?
But if you deny the Temple's God, then all deaths are equations, brains stopping, matter rearranging, no justice to seek, no soul to grieve. You cannot mourn a pattern.

If you believe in the Temple's God, then love is a temptation, a temporary, sinful, worldly attachment. What matters is your duty to people. And for what? Heaven? Again, just fulfilling your own self-interest.
And if you don't believe in the Temple's God, then what is love? Just chemicals sprouting in your body, mistaken for meaning.
