Simply put, it's a post-apocalyptic world, which could be a traditional fantasy world or a world that just looks like a fantasy world but is actually an extremely futuristic high-tech world (people mistake the high-tech for magic, even though they are not actually magic). In the myths and...

However, humans on Earth will believe in empty words and firmly believe, then call it faith, and they will attack anyone who questions their "faith", even if they can never come up with any reproducible and convincing (besides themselves) miracles as evidence. but what about in a fantasy world...

I came up with a world setting like this: 1.In this world, for the vast majority of mortals, Gods exists——but unlike Earthlings (strictly speaking, Westerners who believe in Abrahamic monotheism), for them, any powerful being can be considered and worshipped as Gods, whether they are powerful...

Let's assume the following scinario: In a fantasy world like Faerun, two gods engage in war and command their mortal worshipper to fight each other. In the end, this war ended with the death of one god and the victory of another, and the worshippers of the loser either converted to other gods...

but to the mortal of Athas,those Socerer-kings are: *nearly alway save————not invincible, of course. but those so-called true gods are also not invincible,they can also die and be killed, even by mortals (and sometime in the extremely ridiculous ways). *Having absolute power over the subjects...

So what is the difference between Socerer kings of Athas and those true gods? They possess immense power, far surpassing the vast majority of mortals. They are immortal. They are able to bestow various divine spells to their servants. They can decide the treatment of their subjects after...

but no matter what they really are, they are extremely powerful beings who can effortlessly torture and kill the vast majority of mortals. when a Socerer King of Athas asks you to worship him as a god, and you are just a lv1 commoner, it is best to do so, even if you know clearly that he is not...

but god-kings of Mulhorand and Unther like Gilgeam still demand huge amount of labor and donations, even though they are true gods. And Athas' Socerer king/queens, although they may not be true gods, are at least extremely powerful Wizard and Psion who can use spells and psionic powers to get...

That's your opinion, you'd better learn to respect others' opinions or leave.

They certainly exist, just like those who were cured of illness by Padre Pio of Pietrelcin.

So tell me, where does this topic criticizing and being condescending people's religious beliefs? If you are neurotic, just leave. there is no discussion of religion of Earth here.

But that's just people's imagination, a fictional myth. If you take this as evidence, then there are too many so-called evidences. Let's talk about John Kennedy,Elvis Presley, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, who can also use various miraculous powers (at least, their fans believe in so). can they...

Let's talk about Athas' Socerer King/Queens. They: 1. Possess incredible immense power, at least in their world. even if they are not the most powerful beings, they are at least one of the top ones. 2. They can bestow various spells on their trusted servants and followers (Templars), allowing...

"Very different, but also the same." LOL！you sure what you said? can you find even just one cleric/priest on Earth who can use even just a 0-level spell 'Cure minor wound'?

and even they believe in their faith which claim they would enter the heaven after death,they still sh*t their pants while the Death coming for them.

But if they are enjoying eternal torment in the abyss or nine hell, they are unlikely to refuse resurrection unless they are extremely hardcore masochists. and generally speaking, the dead are seen as "forgetting everything in their lifetime" and "forgetting everything that happens after death"...

If people only obey and worship gods for the following reasons: 1. Afraid of being punished by God 2. Hope to exchange God's grace through service 3. hope their services can be exchanged for an eternal happy afterlife, or to avoid eternal torment after death. If people obey and worship gods...

You have overlooked an extremely fundamental difference: In our world, there is no magic, and even if miracles do exist, they are purely accidental or in the subjective imagination of believers. the missionaries on Earth spread faith with empty words rather than true miracles, because there...

But the people of a fantasy world demand proof, not empty words. If you were a preacher claiming that your deity was the ruler and creator of the universe, and that you were its son, you would have to prove it with miracles—if you only spoke empty words or used some rare power that others could...
