Fighting among people of the same religion

Just rambling here, but do you think it would be possible to fight between two people of the same religion based on different interpretations of that Gods beliefs? Or does it not make sense since Gods can specifically interact with people and tell them what they really believe. I know for example Christians to not interpret God the same way. Is this possible in geas?

I'm sure people will still have different interpretations.

I think it happens all the time. But schisms are are ultimately rare for the reasons cited.

"Christian" "Muslim" and other generalized words refer to specific groups of belief systems which share some foundational concepts. This does not also mean that all the various belief systems included in those generalized words agree in every point.

Unfortunately (fortunately?), this is not how things work in Geas. Asral means... Asral. There are not subfactions within the Asral faith. You don't have Cathasrals who bow to statues of Asral over here with Protestasrals on the other side who focus more on feeling all good inside about Asral.
Nor do you have Tanunnis who will knife you in the back for not following Taniel versus Taniites who will try to win you over with kindness before knifing you in the back if you don't convert to Taniel.
You might have individuals who take differing perspectives, but there are really no submovements within the religions of Geas.
The religions on Geas are sorta solid edifices. Ref. Per. and Crusaders (The word of the Lord Marshall is LAAAAW)

***DISCLAIMER***No insult was intended to actual religions of the world or their followers, nor am I implying ANYTHING about actual religions of the world by these statements (please don't stab me for anything I posted here!!)

Druids vs. Evrenite Crusaders. It never got physical, but the hatred was made evident verbally.
