But nobody ever talks about how disappointing gods are.

Vivec letting that moon drop. Smh.

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't really call it a moon it's kinda small for that but yeah Vivec (and the entire Tribunal and their cult) were renowned pieces of shit

Love seeing Morrowind references in the wild.

By the way, it's strongly implied in the game that holding those meteorites suspended above the city is a bargaining chip by Vivec to scare people into continued worship of him to offset the fading power of the heart of Lorkhan (which they used to become the tribunal of gods in the first place).

This is also why, in the expansion (after the Nerevarine destroys the heart) we see the meteorites falling to the earth after Vivec disappears. This eventually triggers the apocalyptic red year, which leaves large parts of Morrowind destroyed and explains the dark elf refugees in TES V (plus the expansion where you can see the mainland of Morrowind as a smouldering ruin from the shore of Solstheim).

Huh, missed that implication, but yeah, turning it into a prison wasn't a good look either.

Overall I think one could argue that by the time of the events of TES 3 nothing the Tribunal was doing was particularly good looking.

If it wasn't for the Nerevarine Dagoth Ur would've eventually converted all the inhabitants to zombies, with the Tribunal being mostly powerless to stop him.

That’s because we stopped with the human sacrifices.

We created God/s and we certainly should have done a better job.

Christians give me weird looks when I insist that God is female and a Goddess instead.

Gaea certainly is.

I learned from Jurassic Park that females are default since they're XX and males are XY, but it turns out that's just specific to humans, and its reversed in some animals, where others determine sex not based on genes at all.

And Adonai had a consort, Asherah that was actively removed and censored because her culture was dominating.

Those weirdos, I thought everyone knew by now that she's Alanis Morrisette

[-] letsgo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Maybe ask them to explain Gen 1:27: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

He's just as much female as he is male, and vice versa. "He/Father" appeals to a patriarchal society, but Jesus had a good proportion of female followers, and it was some of them that discovered the empty tomb. God is neither male nor female, or both, depending how you look at it.

Space is big. Really big. If we suppose there is a God at all, it's hubris to imagine terrestrial life is central to a divine funtion, let alone the human ape, let alone one faction of human society.

We are moss on a sequoia tree in California while the chosen people are weasels in Mecklenburg.

At worst, we're insignificant, and at best we are the roaches in God's card reader causing errors by crawling around.
