[QUOTE="prosfilaes, post: 6692590, member: 40166"] For what? People believe in a lot of things that aren't very credible. Ever heard of Tiamat? Romans didn't, nor did they know anything about her world. Again, you're acting like a 21st century person who can look up the results of careful post-Renaissance archeology on Wikipedia, not someone in Faerun who has never seen an elf and could plausibly claim they don't worship the Gods. Maybe someone in Waterdeep has met an elf cleric, but that's still far from all races, cultures and, for crying out loud, time-periods?!? I seem to remember some stories about Moses pointing to guys who had just turned staffs into snakes and saying "it's all fakery". A wizard noble could probably make that argument; oh look, they can turn their staffs into snakes, I can summon larger snakes to eat them. It's called magic, peasants, it has nothing to do with the Gods. I'm actually inclined to believe that a number of wizards and sorcerers believe that, that clerical power is just sorcerer with the delusion that the power comes from the gods. There are a lot of absurd people in the real world, who disbelieve in verifiable things. Q: If the Danish call Settlers of Catan a 'leg', is it subject to the taxes that a 'leg' has in Denmark? A: Yes. Q: If the German government considers Scientology not a religion, is it subject to restrictions that religions aren't? A: Yes. It turns that what we consider things matters. [/QUOTE]
