[QUOTE="Barak, post: 2912870, member: 3028"] Atheists in D&D could also believe that "Gods" exist, but aren't really Gods per se, just Really Powerful Beings. In many ways, it's besically semantics. But Demon Princes can grant powers to followers, and yet aren't Gods. But yeah, the difference between believing that and believing in Gods is slim at best. I believe there was a faction in Planescape that actually believed that, though. Perhaps a Planescape expert can expound on this? So the discussion could have went.. "[b]So you don't believe in Gods, hmmm?[/b]" "That's right, bubba." "[b]You don't believe I EXIST?[/b]" "Of course you exist, you imbecile. You just ain't a God." "[b].. But I can kill you with a thought! Or grant you power! Raise you from the dead! Torment you in the hereafter, or reward you![/b]" "... Yeah well, so can Orcus or Demogorgon, you know?" "[b].. Hmm. I see your point. Excuse me, I'll go in that corner and cry.[/b]" [/QUOTE]
