Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steampunkette" data-source="post: 9523457" data-attributes="member: 6796468">Without getting into the weeds and into Religion:There was a -ton- of crossover in religious ideas and identities across the region known as Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates and the fertile crescent which ran down along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea into the Nile Delta region.Regional and National deities were structured into pantheons, torn apart when dynasties fell, and were rebuilt later. There was intentional and unintentional syncretization of deities in the various religions being mashed together into the same character, and more.And those gods were referred to -as- gods in works written in that time period because that's just the word for what they were.While that is, definitely, a potential issue, I would posit that breaking things down on an alignment could be done through the concept of the trinity for good alignments, and various evils and ills for bad alignments separate from the deity in question.And since that sort of concept is -also- part of our binaristic culture, I think it's more likely they just didn't even think about it.Fair. I was just dazzled by the amount of logical fallacies the poster threw one after the other which had nothing to do with what I wrote. It was bizarre to see once. But now I've got two nickels 'cause they replied to that post.</blockquote>
