For those of you who believed in one or more 'almighty' deity back in your homeworld.

After all that has happened, do you still have faiths in your gods?

Hard to believe in something you killed.

[Anon Reply]

[great_king_of_evil]

Of course, dear anonymous.

Yet while I believe Gods can and should be killed, allow me to be in disbelief as to your claim.

[ The condescending tone transpiring from these words, can you tell? ]

Not really. He turned out to be a huge jerk.

Supposedly there are other gods where I'm from, [Proof of that being that if she's the "Child of the Gods," there had to be others out there because no she refuses to be even theoretically related to a giant floating rock.] but I've never seen them. They haven't done anything to help us, either.

The entities known as Gods are more often than not malevolent and ill-intentioned.

[ Because clearly the Great King of Evil is in the best position to judge what is malevolent and what is not. ]

It sounds to me as though they are little more than fairy tales creation. And even if they exist, they do not sound worthy of worship.

[darkestsatisfaction]

Yes. My god is with me, always.

[In the most literal sense. ...Even though Kiryu is maybe kind of not entirely sure how much of it is illusion, but... even if it's just illusion, it's still better than being without Ccapac Apu at all.]

[great_king_of_evil]

Always you say? I see. Yet, the broken shadow child that follows you around must make for quite a pitiful god, doesn't he?

[ Just saying. ]

[alephbet]

In the literal sense of God existing. Of course, He's dead now because I killed Him.

[great_king_of_evil]

You killed a God? [Oh, yet another pretentious neophyte.] Well now, would you care sharing with us the story of your exploit?

[ Because Ganon is calling bull on that claim. ]

[ don't get her started don't get her started - ]

Hard not to "believe" in someone you've met or can hear the will of even here.

text; anon

[great_king_of_evil]

You must be new. What you hear is not your God's will. It is simply a system designated to make you believe you do. An illusion if you will.

[ Sorry to break it to you like that, but that needed to be said. ]

[fionnuisce]

I'm reasonably sure I lost that some years ago, so it's no difference to me.

[great_king_of_evil]

Then, as pleasing as this answer is, for all intent and purpose that question was not directed to you.

[Anon text]

[papillonmagique]

No. I may technically work for God, but I have never had faith in him.

[Anon text]

[great_king_of_evil]

Interesting. Why do you work for a God if you bar no faith for him?

text/anon

[terreifying]

well i believe they exist
i also know they want 2 kill us so we have to shoot them
so i guess you can say my faith is robots n guns

text/anon

[great_king_of_evil]

Typical divine behavior.

So if I summarize, you aim to destroy gods?

[sicharia]

[you have a lot of faith... how long will it take to break you of that...?

The words of that shadow have been nagging at her, and this post appearing not long after receiving them...]

Yes.

[She doesn't attempt to justify her answer. It was a yes-or-no question, so that's all there is to her reply.]

[anon text]

[great_king_of_evil]

Why?

[ But he wants a justification. The truth is, Ganondorf cares very little about the opinion of those dwelling within this tower.

Right all he cares about is shattering faith in any kind of gods and cultivating hatred against them. ]

[voice]

[irreverence]

[Ah, but to be someone who believes in someth-- no fuck that, that shit's stupid.]

Well now. This outta be fun to keep an eye on.

[great_king_of_evil]

[ There are no replies to this (for now at least) since Ganondorf replies only on topic and he doesn't see a link with it. ]

[greyerrant]

Our truth was that the gods were simply tricks, powerful creatures that played at being what they were not, so no, we had faith only in man to begin with. In many ways, our "Gods" are similar to the false faces presented by those who rule here.

[anon text]

[great_king_of_evil]

This is the true nature of all Gods, no matter the world. They are those who possess a supreme power over lower beings and chose to pose as Gods. In this sense, the very notion of 'god' is just another illusion.

But I agree. The administrators here possess many similarities with "Gods" in a general way.

[Anon text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Actually yes.

After all that I've seen there has to be something looking out for us

[Anon text]

[great_king_of_evil]

Why?

[thirtybits]

Yes. Of course. For a while, I thought He had rejected me. But I know that's not true now, so I believe in His grace and love now more than ever. And this tower won't change that at all.

text; anon (gomen 4 threadjack but I had to)

[crouching_sin]

He rejects all who do not perfectly follow His plan. Why should you be any different?

[terra_nullius]

What a curious thing to ask in a place like this.

text;

[great_king_of_evil]

Gods play an important role in people's life, real or not.

A negative role. I believe this tower to be the perfect place to ask this.

text;

[notayoungkitten]

You ask the denizens of countless worlds.

I would not be surprised if there are gods amongst us.

anon text;

[great_king_of_evil]

If there are, certainly they must be feeling quite pathetic with their so-called omnipotence taken from them.

its not a matter of faith i mean im an angel technically

they exist tho and theyre just as petty and stupid and selfish as humans are ethey just ahve powers

[sawthelockdown]

Pretty rare to see an angel that actually acknowledges that.

Of course, the gods only rule one realm, what happens in another is not their fault. Though failing to prevent the destruction of the world was but not even gods can win if beings more powerful than then come along.

[Anon]

[great_king_of_evil]

Do they deserve to be called God and to be worshiped, if they cannot protect their own world and end up as shadows in this tower?

[ He'd be so disappointed if he knew that were you. ]

[evokingfool]

They exists, but I don't have faith in them.

[While Minato do participate in festivals and the various religious customs in Japan, he's not an avid follower.]

It's simpler to have faith in your comrades and yourself.

[great_king_of_evil]

I do not see the point in freeing yourself from faith into Gods if it is to place your faith into even lower beings.

[ Just sayin'. ]

[nordic_dovahkiin]

All Nords have faith in their Gods. Our most honoured god is Talos, the warrior. Yet, I believe that me coming here is a test, given by Talos to prove my strength against evil.

[great_king_of_evil]

I am sorry to say it to you, but your Talos is now nothing more than a mere shadow lurking within this tower.

A book I read from my World referenced a Goddess. But it depends on how much faith one would put in such poetry, and of course the many undoubted interpretations of what that could mean for the masses.

But I am my own God.

Anon Text

[great_king_of_evil]

You are your own god, you say?

How high and mighty you must have felt upon awakening within this tower, your grace.

text

[warriorscribe]

Certainly, in relation to the world over which He presides. It's clear now that He cannot influence worlds which are not His, nor can He influence things from outside that world. But once all is restored, no, the happenings here have not shaken my faith. I will continue to serve Him when we return to Earth.

anon text

[great_king_of_evil]

Even if your God is nothing more than a Shadow Child in this tower, you still keep faith on him?

anon text

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

I will never stop believing in, having faith, in my goddesses.

[bloodyashes]

The closest thing we have to a god keeps trying to convince me to play in the snow with him. Hard not to in believe that.

[Worshipping Lorelei is a whole other ball of wax, and was hardly common on Auldrant before it was destroyed. The idea of believing something exists and worshipping it are completely separate.]
