[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 4815372, member: 3649"] You have two types of basic dark god worshippers. You have the hard-core guys. These aren't the people doing evil because they think they're doing good things, no, these are the people who have made a conscious decision to oppose everything the gods of light stand for because they think they'll come out on top in the end. Usually, the dark gods promise these followers strength and power in the afterlife. Evil is, after all, a very unforgiving philosophy. It has little room for friends or compassion or selflessness, so the afterlife to an outsider looks like unending pain and torment. And it is, until you realize that the hard-core people who served the dark gods [I]want [/I]to be there. They don't see it as a punishment, they see it as a crucible where the most powerful and most cunning rise in power to become major demons or even demon lords. The weak become paste, which is perfectly agreeable to your basic worshipper of the dark gods. You also have your second type of worshipper who has been basically lied to. He's the self-delusional type who thinks that the dark gods [I]value [/I]his service so no, of course [I]he [/I]won't be upside down in a pit of cat crap for 1000 years, he'll be a major demon right at the start. These people are also known as suckers. You have your third type who is just insane. Related to this is the abusive relationship people. And you have your fourth type who is doing it to avoid a worse fate. Give a sacrifice to Malar and you won't be eaten by bears on the way home at night. Drizzle some wine to Bane and your baby doesn't get sick. These people do it and serve out of fear and because there is no other choice for them. (Or at least so they think). [/QUOTE]
