[QUOTE="Zappo, post: 455630, member: 633"] A good post, takyris. Personally, I'm used to apply the Big Sword of Merciless Logic to everything including religion. Probably that's why I'm atheist and why I have a hard time understanding the concept of faith. In my eyes, any god is outside reality and in a realm where you have to believe without proof or even against proof. But at that point, in the denial of logic, any consideration of "validity" can only be wholly subjective. And if validity is subjective... the kid could very well not be mad. After all, if he grew up, founded a religion, converted a few hundred people, and the whole thing went on for a couple of centuries until after D&D has been long forgotten, then surely Cuthbertism would be an accepted religion. Why should it be acceptable in this scenario and not in the current one? Number of followers and time of existance certainly aren't the meter of validity. OTOH, he could just be nuts. :D [/QUOTE]
