Devin Cutler here:
" Certainly it's nice if
characters are played to have the beliefs they "`historically'" should
have. "
My point has often been that "historical" comparisons are bunk, since
Glorantha is so different from Earth.
" But it's been done, what, three times?
in Time, none of which were to resurrect some long-dead individual. (I
think? Or was Talor a dead chap?)"
Resurrection is done every day in Glorantha, implying that, at the very
least, one's soul does not fall into oblivion as an Atheist might believe on
Earth. The mere fact that there is some sort of provable afterlife is enough
to separate Gloranthan belief from Terran faith.
"It's a sign that Babeester Gor temple guards have Sharp Axes."
Obviously, but even were the guards to be gone, the man off of the street
still could not kneel down and say "Hey, I want an Axe Trance". Babs has
something (nay, everything) to say about it.
