Ok, a few years ago (like 2 or 3) I heard of some
bishop or minister down south (Texas or something) of
I think a Catholic religion that pubicly said that if
any of their parishoners were in any way Masonically
Affiliated, that they would be excommunicated unless
they relinquished thier membership immediately. I
thought that the church had gotten over it's
prejudices, but it hadn't.
My cousin belongs to a church that acutually forbids
her to have any contact with non christians. Too bad,
I guess she won't be able to talk to the other 1/2 of
the bridal party then...
This does not make me think that Churches would be
very forgiving of new/older religions poping up and
stealing away parishoners. In fact there may be
extremeists Religions branching from what we see as
the "Normal" religions today, that would see not only
new/old religions as work of the devil, but anyone
goblinized or of metahuman race in general. What
better way to start a Policlub than to have "GOD(s)"
on their side.
Why not a new Inquisition, smiting the "fowled"
metahumans in the name of "GOD(s)"?
"You're my friend Sam, but since you goblinized into
an ork, my religion says I have to kill you, nice
knowing you." *BLAMO*
