[QUOTE="Sonny, post: 6313766, member: 1096"] Well when I'm talking real world, I mean hard drugs, theft (especially white collar where people often plan this out and do it over time. Heck one of the smartest people I knew ended up embezzling half a million dollars from his work despite knowing the risks. He did this for a period of over three years. He was well paid, and wasn't having any financial difficulty. People are stupid. People that commit hate crimes despite knowing what can happen to them, and then continue to do them until stopped. There are people who believe we never landed on the moon, despite proof, or that killing themselves when a comet passes will give them eternal life, they don't listen to others outside their cult, they believe what they want. Again, people are stupid. Also, considering most people in games never experience different planes of existence or deal with angels and demons, why should they believe what a competing religion says about theirs? I doubt an evil god is telling his followers the truth about what he really has planned for them. I would also count outcasts, those that feel abnormal or outside of normal society, these people that mainstream good religions don't appeal to. I'm not saying these religions are huge, but there are people who would join them. [/QUOTE]
