[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 704477, member: 8439"] [B][/b] you then go on with a bunch of examples of single religion cultures with multiple gods. Let me go into more detail. The gods of D&D (as far as I can tell) are not a pantheon, as in the other polytheistic religions you have pointed out. They are seperate gods, some of seperate races, rarely with any "familial" relationship or heirarchy between them whose varied believers coexist in large numbers. This is not something you are going to find most places in history, and in fact is closest to a modern multicultural society. Throw in the fact that we have different races, half breeds between the races.... no, not really. You're the one I see putting focus on those irrelevant factors. You may accuse us of "modern politics" but when it comes down to it, modern politics dressed up in earth history are no more relevant. The D&D cosmology is not the same as any we have had. In order for homosexuality to be a "out of group" taboo (antiabortion religious groups) vs an 'in group' taboo (jewish kosher law) you must assume either that all religions oppose it (which is you making a judgement that it is bad) or that the D&D world is at some sort of constant religious war (which has never been supported by the base setting.) In the highly multicultural setting which I have expereinced, taboos either die under the pressure of evidence that they aren't neccassary, or (more often) become personal taboos with no attempt to enforce on others, OR the person holding the taboos becomes very bitter and negitive. This is the way I would play a setting as fundementally multicultural as the D&D fantasy. Kahuna Burger [/QUOTE]
