Play us out of this mess!

Nice one! ;)

EDIT: Deleted - religious debate post. Don't want ze Mods on my back.

Imo Hi-Rez are hypocrites here. But I don't care as long as the game is fun.

Edit: and Jesus can be considered a god. He and his "father" were one and the same.

Was a very well written post though, was looking forward to how people would respond to it.

I'm still waiting for them to include deities from Abrahamic religions. There's really no reason to exclude them when there's deities from other active religions in the game. Why should Islam and Christianity be exempt?

Mainly because Abrahamic religious figures like Jesus, Muhammad or Allah are too broad in the scope of their powers to fit into the niche neccesary to be a character in a game like this. However, if you dig deeper into Jewish and Islamic mythology (in contrast to religion) you'll find characters like Lillith and the Angel of Death who work brillianly as video game characters.

i smell BS coming from your post and its very stinky

Lol @ the reply to the Hindus.

I find his response to be very rude. He just basically told the Hindus "screw you and your opinions." Their religion is no less important than anyother religion. If he's going to use their gods he needs to use ALL of the gods, indlucing god and Jesus himself. Otherwise he's being a giant hypocrite.

I don't think anything he said was all that insulting, but trying to philosophise and then say "ponder that a minute" is just asking for it. There wouldn't even be a brief pause before a zealot yells "Rabble! Rabble, Rabble!".

As for Jesus/God being a playable deity, it simply doesn't work because using Jesus would be akind to putting Buddha or Ghandi in a battle arena game. Unless the theme of the game is 'total irony' it simply doesn't work. Plus, all hindu gods have tons of visual representations in books and murals, while the visual ideal of God and angels were ripped from visual representations of Zeus and Nike, respectively. The former already being in-game.

Uh oh, I done it now, ain't I?

Considering I don't believe in any "higher power," your comment doesn't really affect me, but I still think that a religious group has a right to speak up for their religion if they see it as being "trivialized" by other corporations.

Also, Zeus and the whole Greek religion was taken from another religion. All religions in ancient society had common similarities, such as having a diety have a son through a mother virgin. It's how "Jesus" was made up.

And yes I know Jesus could have very well been a  real man, but he was no son of some "god" because god [mod edit] was also taken from many other ancient religions.
