[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8818647, member: 4348"] It is based on the Latter-day Saint (Mormon) idea of..oh what is that word...trying to recall it. A Falling away. In their theology they have it that the world fell away from the truth, or the gospel. Ah, I remember it, the Great Apostasy. In it, they killed the apostles and others who did not have any authority or understanding of the gospel took over. People like Constantine claimed the rights of the Priesthood and the Church for themselves. They claimed to be Christians, but they lacked the authority to perform priesthood ordinances and ceremony (a key item in Latter-day Saint theology) and misunderstood some key parts of the gospel. To relate it in Dragonlance terms...you have a Priest of Paladine but they are teaching things that go contrary to what Paladine would want. They lack any power or ability from Paladine. He doesn't condone their actions (maybe they are saying that you need to go out and kill all wizards, that the Towers of High Sorcery are offensive and you must get rid of all wizards and have inquisitors to hunt wizards down or something like that). He doesn't answer their prayers because they have it all wrong and aren't really worshipping him or his teachings and ideals, but something else. They claim to worship him but are really doing their own thing and using his name (sort of like WotC did with D&D when they changed all the rules for their own version and slapped the D&D name on it...okay...ignore this comment). It goes part and parcel in with the basing of some of the original Dragonlance mythos with Latter-day Saint theology (Joseph Smith finding the Gold Plates...ergo...Goldmoon getting the discs...etc,...etc...etc).
