Aethist Dwarves and You!
« on: October 14, 2012, 12:56:21 pm »

So, I've been seeing on this new world that several migrant dwarves have no Gods of any kind, all the original 7 did, so I was wondering if this is normal or not?

Well if they see no reason to not venerate a diety or entity that would let them be so stupid, oblivious, easily mutilated etc...

Tbh they're prolly just Dwarves who don't give a crap about doing anything that isn't constructive to them.

Eh, there's no feasible proof so they're just being skeptical.

That or they feel they have been forsaken by their god, like Adon with Sune in the Avatar trilogy thing.

WHAT? NON-BELIEVERS!

GO TO THE CONVENIENTLY PLACED 30-STORY-TALL TOWER AND RETHINK YOUR POSITION AS YOU "ACCIDENTALLY" FALL TO YOUR DEATH, THEN YOU CAN TELL ME I DON'T EXIST.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

They only see a Dwarf pull the lever. Then they see the ground.

Atheist till the end.

Teach them to respect and venerate the almighty Overseer.

I like to think that on the other side of the world a human is walking on the beach, notices the water level suddenly drop twenty feet, and whispers "fucking dwarves."

Don't overlook the possibility that they're TROLLING THE CRAP OUT OF YOU by denying the fact that YOU exist!

So when the Dwarves look up and see us, they think we're gods of gambling and fertility?

Time out for a second, wouldn't an atheist dwarf be a guaranteed non-cursed dwarf?

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.

No, you can be cursed by gods you don't worship.
