Why can't players choose to be atheist in EverQuest?

This is because, if athiests are right we are evolved to REQUIRE worship of an alpha entity. So therefore, if athiestm exists, then it CANNOT exist.

An atheist would say that all polygons, texture maps, music, classes, races, spells, quests and 'gods' in EQ automatically evolved over billions of years from a single pixel which was created by a random server crash by a server which nobody created.

Then why allow agnostic?

Because some people never reach level 46 or get invited to a raid [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Where did you get all this from? Did somebody tell you or did you come up with it yourself?

“Quarm = Fennin Ro + The Rathe + Xegony + Povar + E'ci + Coirnav.”
This isn't true. Quarm is just a manifestation/incarnation of the Gods' powers. It's simply a physical being created by the Gods coalescing their powers. Same thing with Coirnav. It isn't a God, just a physical avatar, containing some of the essence of the Triumvirate of Water that watches over the Plane of Water.

When I think of it, I don't believe we have killed any God in its true form. We've only killed their Avatars/manifestations. Just like reality, we can only comprehend things in the 3rd dimension. Gods traverse through more than just 3 dimensions, which is something you see in SoD with the 4th dimension (time) being created as a physical manifestation (3rd dimension) so we can understand it and travel through it.

Think of it this way: If you kill the God of War, war simply ceases to exist. Everquest still has wars, yes? Therefore, we've never killed Rallos Zek's (and all of the sub-deities) true form.

“From a lore stand point you WOULD know if the deities are walking around Norrath it should be advertised via Server Wide anncounments.”
From a lore standpoint SOE screwed up really bad.

These shouldn't be the gods themselves but rather their AVATARS. Instead of Tunare it should be Avatar of Growth. avatar = a physical manifestation of a god's will on the mortal world. From a lore standpoint, didn't we just do a huge bazillion quest long signature line that required consulting a fallen Roehn Theer, getting permission from both Tunare and Cazic Thule (projections of them mind you) to execute a rather complicated and detailed plan involving 3 demi gods of war as well, just to confront and slay one god of Norrath, which had ramifications that were part of the basis for the current expansion pack? But now Rodcet Nife decides to hang out in Antonica, he gets quiety and quickly bitchslapped for a couple of fabled items, and Norrath keeps on turning.

a Koalindl says, 'Foolish mortal! You have disturbed the Prime Healer as he swims in the guise of his creatures. For this... you shall perish!'

Your faction standing with RodcetNife has been adjusted by -2000.

In most lore, Zek was depicted as towering, muscular man with skin like magma, clad in golden armor, and crowned with a spiked helm with horns protruding out either side. This is also how the Avatar of War appears when summoned in the city of Kael.

Astral projection is a term used in esotericism to describe an intentional out-of-body experience that assumes the existence of a subtle body called an "astral body" through which consciousness can function separately from the physical body and travel throughout the astral plane.

Where did you get your definition of god and godlike from?

Multiple sources. This is what google offered when searching for "god": (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.

How do we know it's the correct definition or can godlike be whatever you want it to be?

We don't, and that unknowable quality contributes to something/one being considered a god or godlike.

Thereby making them...a poly-theist.
