[QUOTE="Coik, post: 958951, member: 38"] Well, at the very least, if violates the nature of causality. Except that gunpowder *is* a refined substance, and even if it wasn't it probably wouldn't naturally congregate in barrels... :) Celestial conjunctions, comets, pissed off people re-inhabiting their bodies through force of will...the world of B-movies offers a plethora of options. :) Hmmm. Thing about that is that those things whose essence is life energy seem pretty good at killing things, too. Would procreation therefore be an act of evil? :) Well, they don't *really* need constant supervision...just tell 'em to go down into a basement or something and wait there pending further orders. Which gods, and why do they have a say in it in the first place? The gods don't have any right to go around bossing mortals (though, of course, like any bullies they're certain to try). Really, who made *them* the dictators of morality? I can understand them saying that the power they happen to bribe people into becoming clerics with can't be used for certain things, but to try to make universal claims about something like that... Of course, that's just the prude gods who try to run peoples' lives for them. If we're talking the quote unquote "default pantheon," Pelor and St. Cuthbert are good examples of them. [/QUOTE]
