[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7612621, member: 15700"] I'm not a religious scholar, but I did take several religious studies classes in college. Enough to know that religion has always been fluid, and ever changing. Not just through time, but differed by region during the [I]same [/I]time period. Look at how many current variations of Christianity or Islam there is right now. Every religion in history has been this way. So to try to find the 'one true way' a particular religion was in the past is a fool's errand. You can't really do it. Especially when trying to determine how people worshiped when the written record isn't very good. Christianity falls into this as well because the Bible is based on a different language that has been translated over and over again. Ever play the telephone game as a kid? Point being, it seems fairly odd to me to get worked up over how a game incorporated exotic religions into one of it's supplements. Mr. Ward didn't submit D&D as this thesis for religious studies in college did he? No? Well then, move on. [/QUOTE]
