@fantasyLeon1@J0hnADouglas Catholicism is iconic and has a unified identity and authority. Things most people are looking for in a story involving religious factions.
Some small town pastor figure only really works in westerns or modern settings.
@sabinfigaro2001@marcelo_byteval@J0hnADouglas Or honest mistakes happen while a benevolent authority is trying its best and doesnt have unlimited resources, awareness, or time to address everything. So some people having it rough grt overlooked and tske that personally. Even if resolved they carry the grudge.
@sabinfigaro2001@marcelo_byteval@J0hnADouglas For bonus points the protagonist is siding with "rebels" against the church as well as the monarchy.
But the rebels are just the dregs that naturally occur in any society because some people just dont want to work or want chaos or fixate on envy even if well off.
@marcelo_byteval@Lazarus3271@J0hnADouglas When 90% of people adhere to religion as the social norm and authority, all the same people and personality types are operating under that framework. In modernity its secular popularity, fame, trends. Girlbossing, Trusting the heckin science, ect.
@marcelo_byteval@J0hnADouglas I'm tired of those exaggerating the prevelance of it. Most that repeat it just have animosity to religion in general anyway, or their parents anyway, and from there any inconvenience justifies blaming the religion for it. Then midwits repeat it without any personal experience.
@The4thResident@AdamVergara13@Ryobi_404@ShitpostRock Nords used to embrace magic, which is why they have the College.
Staff guy was rejected because he DIDN'T have magic, it was just the staff itself, which got depleted of all its souljuice.
@Mr_Towarzysz@Akhaniel77@Silent1419155 Any alleged contradiction doesnt contradiction the Bible, only specific interpretations. Interpretations that usually are unnaturally forced on the text through a lens someone else told you to read through.
@Mr_Towarzysz@Akhaniel77@Silent1419155 Which Bible? The 66? The 73? 81? KJV? ESV? NIV? The
Nicene Creed is extra-biblical political fiat yet many assert that it is the most important metric for defining Christian or not, not the Bible itself.
The Book of Mormon is another witness of Christ, a third Testament.
@dvorstone Female assassin is a good trope when not accompanied by bad Tropes. Because subterfuge is one of the only real tools a woman has if magic or guns arent in the setting. Even if a man could be better at it its still more of an equalizer and more realistic tool than might.
@Akhaniel77@Silent1419155 Literally the driving difference with Mormonism is that they believe God is the same species as us (perfected) where traditional Christianity prides itself on God being distinctly NOT human, as an unknowable eldritch being though one split personality became human temporarily.
@Mike_Fink_KOR@Mithridaticus Left wingers in media and financing continue to perpetuate the difference because they care little for profit, they're activists and deliberate social manipulators. This isnt capitalism, its politics of subversion and demoralization.
@Mike_Fink_KOR@Mithridaticus You're conflating consumer purchasing power with industry influence and financing.
Explicitly left wing media overwhelmingly fails or st least tanks a hit.
Explicitly (not necessarily right wing but anti-woke) media has no industry support yet can typically float on that alone.
@newformofflight@KaiSchwemmer@michaeljknowles@ShabbosK Mormonism is born from protestsnt chaos founded IN America with a unique Americana "foundational myth" concerning North America. Ideology put into practice representing everything WASP is praised for, dialed up seversl notches. No religion is more American than Mormonism.
@EGranPatriarca Woke design can generally be summarized as erasing women to make troons feel represented, sometimes very obviously, sometimes more covertly with skeletal structure changes in the face, jaw, shoulders, and hips to blur the mines and eventually erase the uncanny valley detection.
@OSRDwarf@blasvatar__ At least in America, if onky White women voted the country would still be Republican. Any other demographic aside from White men, you get democrat.
White women, even adding liberal, is a safe edgy scapegoat to an ongoing racewar perpetrated against us and masks its initiators.
@WiggerMaggot They are simply themselves evil, so their heros are villains they assert are the good guys and are trying to associate things they dislike as being the real bad guys with some strawman flaws to make them look worse. Reality shows through the cracks of the fake world they depict.
@EzhmaarSul@thegreatgwyn14 It can also be born of a REJECTION of sexuality. Distancing yourself from attractive or otherwise human serial dimorphism to not deal with it at all. Similar to most teenagers that think theyre "asexual" when they just have a normal lack of interest until they find love.
@EdilsonCertezas@repair_kit@Im_human_too_ Suicide is murder even if self inflicted. It has traditionally been recognized as a serious sin. They must repent of that sin in the next life before Judgement. God can account for the mental illness and judge them with mercy, but none the less, whst they do IS wrong.
