My humble request

Christianity didn’t even exist when ancient Greece ceased to exist

Please take your religious bullshit elsewhere sir
If that’s so important then go to a real fucking church instead of ranting on a forum about how a game doesn’t have churches

Religion this religion that how about rule 7
Mods Thanos snap this topic out of existence

let me say this in a way you might finally understand

this is GREEK mythology, where jesus doesnt EXIST… is this the christian version of DEI chat

The idea of putting a catholic church in a game where theres already a confirmed different religion would imply that the catholic church is wrong, the idea that it could concievably develop in a world like this necessarily implies that they are also wrong in this timeline, and is therefore heresy.

Rb1 please get better material next time thanks.

Did you get a lobotomy or something because how do I explain that this is in a universe where there WAS no jesus. And it is proven that the greek gods existed.

Y’all can gather at any spot, no one’s stopping you. I’m pretty sure with the clan building, you can BUILD ONE yourself. But to ask vetex to add one for a religion that isn’t in the canon is a special type of confusing I can’t handle.

I’d be all for something like a sign about getting mental help, not taking your own life, and something for veterans, because that is a neutrally good, unbiased agreement that “yeah, thats pretty good, that comes from care and love”

Dark Souls just knows how to have gorgeous churches. I don’t like religion, but I love gothic architecture from religion.

It would be the most confusing thing to explain in lore.

Like if it was in the style of temples for the greek gods, or shrines, we’re getting somewhere, but christian style churches? I can’t see.

I kinda like the “no real religion thing” it has, but does have a canon pantheon.

My fantasy world has different religions, or rather, people have patron gods and worship them in different ways. I can see that MAYBE happening, something similar for some god or another in the game, but its a big stretch.

Shoving a religion in people’s faces has to be one of the worst ways to get people to follow it.

I get the idea of wanting to avoid that. The existence of Jesus Christ basically changes everything about history, its easier to write a story something set in a real word parallel where he doesn’t exist. Plus, it avoids stepping on anyones toes by saying something dumb like he was an oracle. Better to not even mention him.

Yea putting the Christian God in the lore in any position that isn’t above chaos in terms of raw unfathomable power would just piss people off, frankly.
(for good reason too, like that is just straight heresy, you’re not going to do that unless you explicitly want to piss off Christians)

which is why kratos will never fight jesus

if kratos won people would NOT be happy

There’s probably some way that encounter could be written but it would absolutely never end in combat and even that’s treading very very thin ice.
Its just not worth the risk.

Cringe

if you want a church in game just go to the temple on orthys or make one with clan building, im sure at some point there’ll be something like a church on a island somewhere but those are the two closest things your gonna get rn

also, why specifically add a church cause of christianity? i think the architecture of churches is cool and one could fit into the game somewhere but if the reason for adding it is so christian people who play ao can have their own convention there i dont get it

no ty i’m pagan :face_with_hand_over_mouth: (also i cannot believe they found ao I’m genuinely flabbergasted please tell me this is satire)

sorry, you don’t get this joke, you probably do, good chance you dont…

Yuletide Theft.

Who are you referring to when you say “they”

Religion does, in fact, exist in AO
Minimal, albeit, but some NPCs on Cirrus mention different religions

very very rarely and none of it is irl religions

This is true
