How did he achieve the great wisdom you attribute to him. I mean, okay, so he was a hard-working, helpful man who died defending his home. Many people did. What makes him special?

But, he ascended through complete morality, doing what he thought was right in the face of death.

So no one is bad, everyone is good, and we're the products of unimaginative process of evolution.

It's extremely difficult to want to follow this guy, on the grounds that you can basically live that way in today's world without ever hearing the name of AlanRickMon. In fact, it seems Restrictotron's doctrine is exactly in line with the popular view of our own day (or at least that of NSG), which would leave one to believe it was engineered specifically for this audience.

Make no mistake - I do not believe your post is any more than boredom on a summer day, but I do not begrudge you that. In the end, this post might be better placed in an roleplaying section, despite your claims it is not roleplay. In the end it's akin to the 'I'm a vampire, ask me anything!' topics that people piss time away in. I think people are wasting their time grilling you over not having specifics...but then again, they're just bored on a summer day too so...yeah.

Procrastinating on a summer day actually, but I agree. This pretend religion has to get a lot wackier. Like Scientology or Eckankar levels of wacky.

No one at that time would step up to the plate, be it nobleman nor peasant. The soldiers were off fighting at the time, so they could not help, either. He came from humble origins, and gave his sacrifice accordingly.

Is it lucky or built specifically for NS? I'd say lucky, but there is such a thing as fate. I assure you, this was not made up on the spot.

And if you didn't just make this up and pull it out of your ass. Then where did it come from? Divine revelation? There's no historical record.

But he persevered and worked hard, and when it came time to make a sacrifice for the whole of his community, he willingly put himself in that position. When he died, he took a new name, so that he may spread his values and protection of the weak from the strong to the world, as Lord Reckoron.

He was not deified by the Senate, ergo, not worthy of worship.

Game set match.

It's pretty elitist to assume that the voices in your head matter more than the voices in everyone else's

I am in no way saying other religions are wrong. That would be rude.

This is still a Ask A thread.

Instead of asking people to ask you questions, why not state what you believe in and ask them questions?
