What's wrong with striking down really annoying people?  Oh and by the way I hear in Gugrontid the god is 0.

LOL server-crashs are that casual that people would be pretty much used to it xD

Velh, I advise you to read the book "Xiosia's roots". This has happened during the last crystal eclipse, and it's the wonder you wanted ;).

 Another way at looking at gods and a atheist, There are so many so why believe in just one, keep your options open, and Janner has always been one, [Athiest] is he mad?
Run your permissions at least once a week. You will be amazed what it can solve.

In Yliakum you almost have to be stupid to be an atheist
Donari, good recommendation, I agree. Velh was present in that garden that day. What me now disturbs a bit is, that that day Jardet and the other people (Velh included) were sitting there to "wait" for the tree to start growing, like I remember Jardet were often mumbling about it to come, and meditating and whatnot, and Velh becoming excited and impatient - in contrast the book describes it as 'popped up' (".. and at once sprung forth a tree majestic and beautiful..") though lol. So you can bet, I always assumed the tree grew over time, more or less unnaturally quick.

Yes

[Oh and im a Christian] Yes I'm such a rebel... ;D

Rule 31# applies now.

Though seriously, when gods are so present in yliakum, by their acts, and the constant divine intervention (so and so was struck down by laanx) you'd have to be an oblivious moron or just outright insane to deny a god's existence.

... Like Janner.

What about each time you exit the death realm and are cursed? Thats not and OOC curse... I've role played that, you're lucky to get outta there with a simple curse ;)

When I started my main character, I chose to be an athiest. Now, I find ways to rp that. I won't say that the gods don't exist. Serq isn't crazy. Instead he believes that the 'gods' are merely powerful wizards of a very powerful race, or to some similar effect. He acknowledges their presence in Yliakum, and gives respect to them for their power in creating worlds, but doesn't feel that he should blindly follow someone, no matter how strong, without any evidence specific to him that he should. Serq will also point out that there are many mages already that can probably become almost as powerful if they had a few more glyphs that could allow this.

I haven't read all of the books in the game, so my opinion might be a little biased. I don't think that Serq is in any danger of being labled an infidel because he gives proper respect, but I'm unsure how it would be taken on a large scale. What do you think? I can't speak for all of the aethiests in Yliakium out there, but I think that many of them feel this way also.

By the way, I'm not aethist.
Have you told a Daylo 'I hate you' yet today? Do it. You'll get teleported to another area!

Hm.. I always sorted that ".. struck down"-thingie a bit into the server-crash category and the "getting muted" one - resolving OOCish nuissances. If I am not mistaking now, my char was once struck down due to server lag issues..

wait.. maybe getting muted is meant to be taken IC too?
Duplicating bugs! "I received a generous gift by Laanx!", Stamina drainage, /unstick ("The Gods took me off that deadly cliff!"), impervious monsters ("Frozen by Talad to guide my safe way!")..

Yliakum is so full of divine wonders..

EDIT to clarify why it was locked because it seems some certain individuals don't get it.

there is no bigotry in that description for the atheist religion type in game.  that's simply how they are perceived in game by the settings of the world.  as it was explained why it is the way it is already there is no real need for me to go over that again here.  I'm all sure you have the ability to reread this thread for that.

so the OP was answered and since we have a strict, no discussion about RL religions on this forum since past discussions always turned out bad, I nipped this one in the bud before it could take flower like it was about to.

to the OPer, do try to keep in mind the over settings of the game and how they differ very much from the real world when you make proclamations such as you have done here for your future posts.  Try better next time to keep the two worlds separate from one another.
