Religion in Discovery

[Capt. Henry Morgan]

See? this is why bringing up religion is rarely a good idea. Everyone agrees that religion of some sort can play a part of RP. Not that it necessarily should, but that it can. Where the problems start is when one person says their opinion, and others take it personally.

Let's just try and keep our cool and discuss this without snapping at each other's opinions, ok? Remember that everyone sees the world in their own way, and that your vision of reality doesn't necessarily match up with someone else's vision of reality. That doesn't make either you or them right or wrong.

Now that I've said that, I must also say this. I see no real reason why any and all mention of real-world religions should be removed altogether. I do agree that they should take a background role, rather than as the base for more serious RP, but why shouldn't I spice up a character by saying that they're Jewish, or Catholic or something? Heck, what's to say that I couldn't build a character for a terrorist ID that goes out and makes as many messes as he can, believing that he's doing (insert your religion's devil here) work? I don't plan to do it, but there's RP possibilities there.

Anyway, that's my 5 credits.
