You could join the Children of Atom. They follow a simple religion, praise be to the atomic bomb. Or else it will kill us all.


First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak for me.

Just join the pastafarian movement: http://www.venganza.org/

I had to stop as soon as I saw Olive Garden.

Never liked that place.

I'm getting the feeling there are no gods that aren't about death, fear, &/or OBEY OR DIE!

There are some, but they aren't really around anymore.

In both reality and otherwise.

It reads Aliit ori'shya tal'din in Mando'a at the bottom.

"Family is more than blood" in our tongue.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

Oh, if that's what your looking for then become a priestess of Mishakal. The goddess of healing on Krynn. 

 

"Mishakal, also known as the Light Bringer, the Healing Hand, and the Blue Lady, represents the godly power of restoration. She embraces the soul's wish to grow and to learn from mistakes. She is the patron of healing, motherhood, and restoring the lost. She actively works to make things right in the world and tries to rid the world of evil with her compassion. Her nature sometimes conflicts with the violent conditions her faithful encounter, but she has a wide breadth of worship during times of strife. She was the Goddess who restored the knowledge of the true Gods during the War of the Lance. Mishakal is constantly loving and protecting to the world. The cleric Goldmoon was given the Blue Crystal Staff to restore the faith of the Gods to the world. The teachings of Mishakal, taken up by Goldmoon, led to the discovery of mysticism when magic was lost after the Chaos War. She is loved by all the Gods of Good, and the Gods of Neutrality all hold her in regard. She is in opposition to every God of Evil for the same reasons she is beloved by the Gods of Good. Every God of Evil harms life in some way, and for that reason Mishakal opposes them all. Her celestial symbol is the constellation Infinity"

That sounds more like something to look into.

Is there a hedonistic goddess to go along with her by any chance? <.<

there is a full pantheon actually. 6 dark gods(though one was turned mortal and killed), 6 neutral gods, and 6 light gods(one of whom is now an elf who will eventually die). the reason paladine is a mortal and takhisis is dead is because the gods can turn other gods mortal at the expense of their own godhood. To save the world paladine gave up godhood to turn takhisis mortal.

oh, and a 7th god to each group, solinari, lunitari, and nuitari. The gods of magic, who really dont care for god wars and are closer to each other than their parent gods.

So the first sentence on the first page turned you off? Typical...

 

"The Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project sums up a recent study about people under the age of 35 and the dangers of their hyperconnected lives with what sounds like a prescription drug warning: “Negative effects include a need for instant gratification and loss of patience.

I spent a rather large chunk of the last three days watching Scrubs and breeding the shit out of some Pokemon so that I can get a shiny Charmander.

Get egg, walk, walk, walk, egg hatches, shit, get egg, walk, walk, walk, egg hatches, shit.

Repeat for three days.

Also, tell that to all the campers in COD and other such shooters.

Those dicks are asshole patience incarnate.

Sometimes the statistics aren't all there.
