[QUOTE="DDK, post: 714903, member: 6469"] Well, I know Hindu is pantheistic but Buddhism, at least the main sect, isn't even a religion, technically, as there is no worship of a supreme beings or being, only a supreme ethos. That's why I grouped them together. And Islam holds 'Allah' or God, as the highest being so I lumped that together with Christianity/Catholcism. As a side note, one of the Baklunish gods in the Greyhawk world is Al'akbar (a mighty hero-god along much the same lines as Saladin), which (IIRC) is a rough equivalent to "Praise be to God" in Islam. I challenge anyone to say that's a stupid name for a god :D That's actually a thread I wanted to start up a while ago, essentially to get curses and whatnot for a game. But I figured it'd be too inflammatory :) In my GH game, I use the GH name for orcs and goblins as a swear word. In GH goblins are called Jeblin and it kinda sounds cool as a curse, "Jeblin fools!" I also use deity names in certain contexts like with Dalt, the god of portals and locks, as in, "Dalt damn you!" as a sortof, "Shutup will ya!" kinda saying, ie. portal = mouth... eh, I never said I was brilliant :) [/QUOTE]
