Let's talk Gaians

[Marburg]

I will never understand why people would see Gaians as religious extremeists. In order to be religious, a religion has to be followed & the Gaians don't have one. Coming from a tradition of scientific thinking, I would think that any possible 'gaian relgiosity' taking hold would be laughably minor. That being said, it's perfectly logical to me that a small to medium small number of 2nd or 3rd generation Gaians would subscribe to a short & simple set of pseudo spriitual, culture-created scientific dogmas.

To me a Gaian killing or dying for a political cause he or she believes in is no more religious than a military soldier killing or dying while under the orders of their commanders. For example, killing in the name of 'Gaia' or 'protecting the environment' is no different than killing in the name of 'freedom' or 'democracy'

Where's the religious zealotry in that?

& as far as considering player RP irrelevant. Whatever.

I basically think as Hawkings does: if developing RP & folding it into the evolving Disco universe was actually irrelevant, then that would mean we have all been wasting our time here from the begining & should lock up & turn the lights out when we leave & hope the doorknob doesn't hit out a** on the way out.
