<snip incorporation/replacement of other religions wiht Christianity>
<<To relate this back to SR's nature spirits, they probably fit in with
this somehow too. Maybe not just yet, but since the church won't be able
to get rid of the spirits altogether (or peoples' "belief" in them,
whichever is easier) they'd most likely alter their point of view a bit
to incorporate them, as the Grimoire quote already suggests.>>
If anything, the Nature spirits of Shamanic tradition should be fairly
easy to integrate, as they spring from Creation itself. Elementals, on
the other hand, could very easily be viewed as an attempt by man at being
God, as man is (almost) 'creating' life. Ally spirits and watchers would
be even worse in that respect, IMO. But, from a Christian viewpoint, the
source of power would have to be clear, and the perceived source would
probably depend upon your intepretation of magic as it fits into the SR
world. As Tinner said, the view of many would be that "the Lord works in
mysterious ways"
