Is new Bioware agaisnt christianity?

since others have asked...

The Main difference is in how the two view their saviors and salvation for humanity.

Jesus was the son of god, man of peace, and while he was there to sort of 'update' the old testament and make parts of it apply to humanity that was not his primary mission...which was to die for all our sins.

As with Andraste...and to an extent Mohammed...there was nothing special about their births...they both received their mandates later in life. Both were charged to give (and spread) the word to humanity and both were warriors and conquerors. And while Andrastess death was Christ like upon her death the maker turned his back on humanity instead of restoring the link as is the Christian cannon.

As for salvation in Christianity has already more or less been given. This makes Christian obligation in life to simply get others to receive the love of Jesus/ God. And yes this ideal has been corrupted and used for political expansion as far as i can tell this is the gist.

Contrast that with both Islam and the chantry part of the salvation personally comes from saving others. While i am a bit fuzzy on the details for Islam. However, the chantry specifically says the maker will only return if the entire world sings the chant of life. And while some like Leilianna or Cassandra support the peaceful spread of this religion, others haven't been as enlightened in the history of Thedas.

I'm sorry that's after making my point several times I began cutting vronersb 

yes goig from a gsme steingky founded in biblical moments to a game that the only religion you see calls faith delusional, says those who believe in the afterlife is because you're scared, and refuses to let you be religious, is a huge trade. 


And yes exaltation is a religious term. The chosen, annoited, destined, cardinal, archons sword. All are similar to Christian titles too. 

Which is probably for the best.  From what she says in game it doesn't really resemble any religion that I am familiar with.  Just a vague, I wanna believe.  That was never what I had issue with.



Yep, all good.  Was just pointing the other poster to my comments.

122 degrees Fahrenheit is what that turns into and with limited water and solar radiation it is dangerous.

Again, why is having a game ask if god is finite a bad thing?

Tolkien actually talked about this (one of his letters I think), which is interesting because he was such a devout Christian and definitely included alot of Christian motifs and themes in the LotR, but he talks about how he doesn't think a proper fantasy world should (explicitly) involve Christianity or any other real religion, and that this was one of the reasons why the Arthurian tales failed to successfully provide the sort of quintessential British mythology Tolkien was hoping to create (with LotR/middle earth). I agree with this completely, if you're going to have religion in your fantasy world it should be a fantasy religion created for that world. And maybe this is part of why the MEA writers wanted to keep Ryders religious beliefs vague, rather than explicitly aligning them with any extant real-world religion: you can confirm that you believe in a deity or higher power, and an afterlife, but nothing more specific than that. 

I dunno what you want from me here.  I never said that a person (Suvi or not) questioning if God is finite messed up the religious representation.  Unless you can point out where I said that, I don't have an answer for you.

That's the entire issue the op layed out with this topic. The op is upset due to the limited responses to Suvi question if god is finite and what one that suits there own personal religious belief more.

Do you not get this?

And you don't need to hate on every aspect either. I was simply pointing out a fact.

Ryder is not on limited water. There is not significant radiation on Eladaan You are interjecting suppositions that were not stated and calling them facts. Sorry but no.

I think the italed is where you went off the rails. You deluded yourself into thinking that the trilogy writers treated religion as anything other than a convenient source of useful tropes.
