I am going to set up a poll. Some of us have some wild personal beliefs that mix with our game play, and I am board, so, I thought I would start a thread to get some good answers about game play and faith.

Ok you're missing one option:
''All of them are real to me.''
lol

I am sorry, I did not think any one would answer that. I forgot about high powered philosophical theory regarding the etheric nature of beliefs becoming real by masses.

Hmm i see. But its a logical assuption to think that if people might believe in some, as the first option confirms, some might believe in all of them. I mean, if the're all part of the same game, and one can be real, all can.  |

It was worded as so, because some of the pantheon are borrowed from real religious myth and other are not (or at least, very loosely borrowed from them).

I see. But since they are diferent, they must be treated as diferent gods. Even a small diference makes them diferent from the myths and religions of old. EG Tyr. There is a ''similar'' god in RL. But it is not the same. I could create a game with one god named Jesoos and he would have similar dogmas, but he would not be the same as Jesus in RL. Its just based in reality.
Unless you porpose is to know if people believe in the gods not from the game, but their counterparts here in RL.

Hmm you could vote based on you opinion, not the Jungian perpective, cause its not your perpective.  And Tyr was only an example. again. And doesnt take an expert to know witch gods have counterparts in RL. Wikipedia its easy to find. BTW, i voted the third option. ;D PS: Do you have a diagnostic for my broken self? Who will win? Ujio or Valek? |

I hope this does not turn into a debate about Tyr. How should I vote, if I take the Jungian perspective on archetypes, huh? That would be like both some of them are real and all of them are real. You always do this. Then, everyone will talk until their heads fall off, and they will get drunk and forget everything that they learned from the conversation. I cannot edit the polls I do not know how. |

Oh i see your point. But i thought akasha was asking if people actually believe the gods that we see IG. Not if they might feel inclinated to a god because of RL beliefs. But you got me. |

Hmmm i meant all those gods that have similar counterparts here.
I dont know all, i dont have the patiance to look.But thats why i used Tyr as an example. I dont believe him in RL, but when i was searching for him to learn more and RP better, i found his counterpart in RL

There you go twisting words again.
No modify button for the poll just mods for posts.

I rather enjoy a good debate. More talk, more fun. Like RP.  |

I see. But you believe in the RL Tyr, not the IG Tyr right?
