Rjinn - Just an FYI on Stannis and his "religion"
1. he abandoned the Seven when he was something like 10. So his adoption of the Red God isn't that crazy.
2. He burned Florent because he disobeyed an order. Yeah, it was to tear down his idols (the Seven) but when you play ball with Stannis, as he did as well as Renley - you know what you're getting.
its one of the reasons I like him. Everyone else succumbs to their impulses. Honor, Lust, Vanity, Ego...Stannis adheres to the law. Can he be blinded by that? Sure. Once he's determined a course of action, he takes it by any means necessary, but there's never any duplicity - unless its in war. But that's how he sunk the Greyjoy fleet. Alls fair in war, they say.
