[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 8571162, member: 7025508"] Someone set up this system. Also, the god eating the souls of mortals don't make them sound like good guys... :eek: I'm sure their clerics will believe them or they wouldn't be their clerics. But people don't need to believe the clerics. And of course even the 'evil' gods will claim to be good, so from perspective of mortals there are a bunch of clerics who claim that their gods are good and demand certain behaviour, and these demands contradict each other. So they need to use their subjective judgment on what sounds just to them. The people have no reason to agree with the gods' or universe's definition of 'evil'. And in this case the gods are simply punishing innocent people who refuse to worship them and thus empower the unjust system. But you indeed have managed to demonstrate the alignment on its worst. Things are arbitrarily degreed 'evil' thus making torturing and killing them 'good.' And that's monstrous. [/QUOTE]
