[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7620134, member: 6670153"] There is more then 4 that you listed as the different types of Agnostic you listed have hugely different implications, and even more that you haven't touched upon. Gods are non-sentient, like forces of nature, that would suggest an almost psychological approach to divine magic underlaying the mystical observences is rituals that shape beliefs. Gods are emphereal, not sure what you mean by that, simply unembodied? Unconcerned with mortal affairs. If they created the universe and then left you have a polydeist theology, but if they have never taken an interest or even can't take an interest then that suggests a very polytheology, perhaps Epicurean Theology where the gods exist in the void between worlds and don't interact with worlds, instead forever gazing and contemplating their own immortal perfection. Plus there is always the implication of what happens if you do catch the attention of these uninterested Gods? Channeling the power of the Gods without the okay of the gods is very Ur Priesty. Blurs the line between clerics and arcane casters some what, because divine magic becomes a matter of technolohy Inspired can have tons of variations. One you didn't touch upon is getting divine magic via intermediaries, praying to Saints, Angels, Ancestors and more to intervene with the God or Gods in question. The Gods invest these spirits with divine magic and they invest it in the Divine Spellcaster. I'm tired but I will explore this a lot more to tomorrow . [/QUOTE]
