LOL. So true. Anders' dad is crazy. According to him, Anders was an infant boy given to him as a curse for the petty sins he committed. Needs a straightjacket ASAP.
Hardly. That's a very common thought process in human cultures.
Magic, like many other "abnormalities" are often looked upon as a sign that the parents did something wrong.
Or it's very possible that his dad was another sad case of nuttiness driven by extreme and blind faith. That also happens to a few people in the world, unfortunately.
I really don't think so. It may seem odd to us in our culture, but I do know people even now who think that way.
People are very cause-effect minded. We like patterns and things to make sense. Magic being an unhappy accident is a common idea, but I imagine very many people in that world would see the deformity as being a sign of someone's sinning. It's superstituous, but one doesn't have to be a raging nutter to be superstious.
No, you don't have to be a raging nutter to be superstitious, but the knowledge remains that it
does happen. Overzealousness can lead to insanity and has been examined in our world. Of course, that's not to say that the realities between our world and their world always converge. It doesn't. All I'm saying is it still didn't preclude a few from descending towards that path (Kolgrim and the Andrastian dragon cult are examples of people taking religion too seriously, sanity be damned).
