Pretty much the reverse of this:
Probably they would've killed him for being heretic and meet god again in a short time.
Nah, Sithrak's followers are chill, they know eternal torment awaits everyone eventually, there's no rush; they just spread the horrid word, no need to implement it themselves.
I mean as far as religious teachings go, "Stay alive as long as possible because there is only eternal torment awaiting you" is a pretty decent thing to get people to try and follow.
Egalitarian, too. Sithrak doesn't discriminate. Everyone will burn, regardless of race, gender, or creed.
The fact that Sithrak is actually a pretty nice guy and doesn't do that makes it even better.
Of course, that's how you know it's fiction, any worthy religion from real life would have him burned at the stakes as soon as he claims God said the sacred books are wrong.
Refreshing for a religion to worship a god they say is evil and be nice guys rather than what usually happens, worshipping a god they say is good while being full of hate.
Zororo hasn't stopped the souls coming in to obliterate.
Must be the highlight of it's day.
Nah, he just thinks the sins of the father pass to the son and he's a bit salty about why the tribe went extinct.
Books are where it's at!
The Christian god eats souls. The more chaste you are during life, the more energy he obtains. That's why he started the religion.
The light you see after death is like an angler fish, guiding you to your consumption.
You mean the Tyrant?
The great seals are probably all still in place, and Gallowspire was definitely still there a few decades ago. It's probably fine...
Honestly, given the available evidence, this is just as likely an outcome as any other.
this is the source of a lot of my existential dread. I can't logically refute it, at most I can acknowledge it's pointless for me to worry about, but I can't stop myself from worrying about maltheism.
Any supposed supreme deity who hinges the eternal fate of their own supposed creations on a wild ass guess isn't one that is worthy of worship, adoration, or even basic respect. If a being with the sum total knowledge and foresight of literally everything can't devise a better system that any random ass person off the street, I wouldn't worry about it.
They either don't exist at all, or they do and everyone is fucked because we exist in the playground of omnipotent super beings that are somehow also absurdly stupid. One of those outcomes is more likely than the other. I think you know which one it is.
Al hail the great ZORORO
May they blast me into sweet oblivion of nothingness as soon as I die, existence isn't for me.
"I'm afraid it was the MORmons. Yes, the MORmons were the correct answer." --The Director of Hell (Southpark)
That's the first place my mind went, as well.
What's hilarious is that in another episode, Satan asked God to accept Saddam Hussein into heaven so he could know true eternal torment living with the Mormons.
Total obliteration seems more merciful than the eternal torment promised by Christianity.
Well, he gave his best shot. Next time he might try a more rigorous vetting system rather than just picking the most popular one in his home town.
"Wait so I'm being judged for being too meta?"
"It's not a sin, but I will judge you for it."
"Some shitty little middle management bitch is going to judge me?"
"...Fuck you, die." Zaps into oblivion
Doug Forcett got it 92% correct.
