Equally Ambiguously Gendered Spouse of "What is the Hivemind?"

That's just silly - let it go. Think about how many posts went by with me, you, and K'Trava bouncing ALL OVER religion the other night....

Like I said, it's a balance.

Yeah... that was fun even though I was a bit tired and missed out on Game Day as a result.... I guess it was due to the fact we were so nice about it and not trying to ram each other's religion down the other people's collective throats.... But then that's just not my style even if my religion basically mandates that.... Torm's (ficticious) religion basically has that but didn't do that either in the game...

Yeah, just let it go, dude. There's better things to talk about on the 'net....

Come to think of it, it worked for Hillsfar.

'It' being not allowing elves (to put it mildly).

Yeah, but that's because they just kicked out all the elves and such, so the elves couldn't blame them that much. At least until that half-elf Sunite made the leader guy of Hillsfar fall in love with the elven maiden in Heir of Prophecy or whatever it was.

But there's a big difference when you call a moon elf a drow.

So, what's Bane the God of, again?

- Kemrain the Confused.

Tyranny, hatred, fear, that kind of thing. He's one of my favorite FR deities.

I know I didn't want to say any more, but....are you saying that you think I was "trying to ram each other's religion down the other people's collective throats" in that post? That's ridiculous...

It is the fantasy equivalent of kicking a moon elf out of your town because "No drow allowed."

In this one game, the female drow my friend's character has the "hots" for, disguised herself as an elf so she wouldn't be shot on sight.

And the one time with my Tormian cleric who was ready to take out some dwarves who wanted to kill the two drow in her party..... She'd have done it too as she had more loyalty to the party than to a strange band of dwarves....

Oh, well, that's no fun. I guess he's out. Does FR have a god or goddess of, say, Lust? That'd be more down my dark alley. If you have to pick a sin, pick your favorite.

Sharess is the goddess of Pleasure.

Actually, I figured at the time it was because the mods had the good sense to be asleep.

No, it doesn't. But explaining why I say that would get religious, so e-mail me if you want to know.

Are we talking about happy puppies pleasure, or.. Other.. Kinds of pleasure? Cuz.. They ain't the same thing!

Still no good - I've grown quite accustomed to the fact that I have enough strangeness in my life that sometimes people just flat aren't comfortable talking to me about it. So if that had shut down the thread, I'd have been a little sad - again - but not irritably so. I was even prepared to apologize if for some reason it did when I made the post.

And, honestly, if you have these conversations on a regular basis with certain religious people, you should be at about the same point, too.

I think I was more uncomfortable with being in the middle of such an arrangement moreso than just talking about it....
