Lauren says, “This world would be a better place if people lived
according to Earthseed. But then, this world would be better if people lived
according to the teachings of almost any religion.” Bankole asks, “Why do you
think they’ll live according to the teaching of yours?” Lauren doesn’t answer
this question (247).
Belief systems seem to have the ability to either divide or unite during times of unrest. Lauren is completely convinced that her Earthseed is some sort of “answer” to the problems she’s run away from and wants everyone she meets to agree with her. Yet she has no reason for why people should agree with her, and doesn’t seem to care when there are people who question her.
