To your first question: my connection with my god is the most precious treasure I have right now. I've been more fortunate than most. My god shares the same values as I do, and tries very hard to uphold the duties and responsibilities expected of a god. That's the kind of god that I'm proud to guide and serve. And I've been treated kindly by my god, and with respect.
To your second question: no. As a shinki I have powers that can help protect the living, but killing ayakashi requires a god. It would be irresponsible and selfish to turn my back on the Near Shore, not when I can do more. And having a god to guide and assist gives me meaningful purpose; I'm not a person that's satisfied to simply live without striving towards a greater good.
