But nobody ever talks about how disappointing gods are.
Vivec letting that moon drop. Smh.
I wouldn’t really call it a moon it’s kinda small for that but yeah Vivec (and the entire Tribunal and their cult) were renowned pieces of shit
Love seeing Morrowind references in the wild.
By the way, it’s strongly implied in the game that holding those meteorites suspended above the city is a bargaining chip by Vivec to scare people into continued worship of him to offset the fading power of the heart of Lorkhan (which they used to become the tribunal of gods in the first place).
This is also why, in the expansion (after the Nerevarine destroys the heart) we see the meteorites falling to the earth after Vivec disappears. This eventually triggers the apocalyptic red year, which leaves large parts of Morrowind destroyed and explains the dark elf refugees in TES V (plus the expansion where you can see the mainland of Morrowind as a smouldering ruin from the shore of Solstheim).
Huh, missed that implication, but yeah, turning it into a prison wasn’t a good look either.
Overall I think one could argue that by the time of the events of TES 3 nothing the Tribunal was doing was particularly good looking.
If it wasn’t for the Nerevarine Dagoth Ur would’ve eventually converted all the inhabitants to zombies, with the Tribunal being mostly powerless to stop him.
That’s because we stopped with the human sacrifices.
Bitch he created me, shoulda done a better job
We created God/s and we certainly should have done a better job.
If god exists then he is a disappointment to me. Bro “loves us” and all of that, but he won’t do anything when
- people are dying in wars
- companies are exploiting people for profit, especially in developing countries
- north korea exists
- his “followers” are spreading hate against [insert minority here] in his name
- etc., you get the point
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god?
God’s good wouldn’t be our good. “Good” cannot exist without a defined point of view. Even if God was awesome, he’d still have his own agenda and point of view. It might be good from many perspectives for no one to die or exploit others, but most people think harming those weaker than themselves for their own benefit is good. Capitalism and imperialism are good if you want to exploit others for selfish gain.
God would only be good if they were subservient to humanity rather than our “lord.” No leader deserves respect beyond what we choose to give them based on how well they serve our interests.
“God works in mysterious ways” + “we cannot know god’s plan” = Cognitive dissonance power washer.
He won’t do anything? No, no, no. He specifically created it.
But you better not question god’s intentions.
He works in mysterious ways.fr
Gods are born and die based on those that would believe in them.
Christians give me weird looks when I insist that God is female and a Goddess instead.
Hashtag girlboss
Gaea certainly is.
I learned from Jurassic Park that females are default since they’re XX and males are XY, but it turns out that’s just specific to humans, and its reversed in some animals, where others determine sex not based on genes at all.
And Adonai had a consort, Asherah that was actively removed and censored because her culture was dominating.
Those weirdos, I thought everyone knew by now that she’s Alanis Morrisette
Maybe ask them to explain Gen 1:27: “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
He’s just as much female as he is male, and vice versa. “He/Father” appeals to a patriarchal society, but Jesus had a good proportion of female followers, and it was some of them that discovered the empty tomb. God is neither male nor female, or both, depending how you look at it.
Space is big. Really big. If we suppose there is a God at all, it’s hubris to imagine terrestrial life is central to a divine funtion, let alone the human ape, let alone one faction of human society.
We are moss on a sequoia tree in California while the chosen people are weasels in Mecklenburg.
At worst, we’re insignificant, and at best we are the roaches in God’s card reader causing errors by crawling around.
God loves you, but not enough to save you.
This song made me cry at work btw

According to lady gaga, god made us perfect
Wouldn’t wanna be anything else
It’s nice to be acknowledged.
There’s a freaky ghost
Im not disappointed by god. Just people. They have more responsibility in the current shitshow
There’s no need to worry about that kind of disappointment. There is no God!
think that’s everybody, by definition
