Pre-War Religions in the Wasteland

Post » Thu May 03, 2012 11:07 pm

yes but don't forget that have religion implemented more can lead to political problems, its very easy to step on the wrong foot spec within religion.
its allot easier in TES and Cthulhu and other fantasy worlds when you play around whit fictive religion's instead!

Point Lookout ventured into pre-war voodoo or quasi-wiccan religion.

I wonder if any Jehova's Witnesses survived? :tongue:
Don't they reject the use of medical help - so the use of Rad-x / Rad-away would be forbidden and lead to their deaths?
Military service is out of the quest too IIRC so they'd have no armed force to protect themselves from the predators created from the war so they die off this way as well.

What I wonder is...

When they had a meeting to decide which religious branch DEFINITELY survived the apocalypse, they apparently said "well the Mormons, obviously."
Yeah ok. WHY? xD

I think the partial explanation is that a bunch of Mormons in Utah banded together to reserve themselves what was essentially their own vault. Which helps to explain why they might be more organized than other pre-war religions.

Which religions do your characters follow in the wasteland?

Joshua is trying to get me to believe his religion, but he ain't buying it.

As atheist as myself. There's even less reason to believe in higher beings (aliens included) in the wasteland, knowing that God could let a nuclear war even happen in the first place to kill off 95% of humanity, make tons of animal species go extinct and the rest to be warped and mutated beyond recognition, and ontop of all this, humans still fight over the same reasons as before the apocalypse. What a wonderful image of himself God created to do such a thing x) I bet he's not proud, and left Earth to go make a new one. I imagine if god exists, everything is probably like The Sims to him - create a neighbourhood and terrorize the inhabitants. Hm, that maybe makes me agnostic instead, for having that theory?

Or it could have been a refrence to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Evil_Dead_(franchise) because it also has the Necronomicon in it.

I think personally, some places would become quite polarized on this issue. One would be there is no God, full stop. And the other would be there is a God, full stop.

Also, I don't think that makes you Agnostic. Unless you believe there's a possibility of there being a God like in the Bible or Koran, or whatever, you'd still fall under Atheism.

I'd like for Asatru to be the true religion :smile: Imagine when you die, and you come to wherever you go to when you die, and you find out what religion was actually true. Christians, jews, muslims et cetera would be so confused when they end up in Valhalla or Helheim :biggrin: or they are reborn as something better/lesser a la hinduism (probably lesser since they didn't believe in the right gods) sitting there as a cockroach and thinking "what did I do wrong?". Or there is just an empty, black void where the only thing that exists is your thought, but it doesn't matter anyways because you don't time perception or memory at all (kind of like remembering a hard night of drinking, but it's constant and forever. Hehehehe.)

Mostly I'm just interested in asatru because everything in it is more awesome, and the stories are so implausible, but if people can believe in the religions that are big today, why can people deem asatru as being silly and improbable? If anything, asatru has more humour (Loki for example)

He says in the bybel that i bring happiness and sadness but all for a reason the day i come again to gather all the worthy followers and believers of me will be in a plays of no fear no pain no hate only good of all there can be.But before he comes again the bybel says there will be a poor land people will fight among each other for living and the darked day's ever to come but not to fear because if you have him in your side you will not fear death and when your time comes to go it your time Don 't fear death.
So that why there is sin between people because it all happens white a reason and one day you will see why all happens like it does.
And i would like you to not speak falls statement over God if your are not a Cristian don't discriminate who is a Cristian.Every body may have there own religion as thy like and just saying bad words of another religion is not right why do so.
All believe what thy want and you don't believe what i believe in don't say a thing about my religion just say i don't follow Christianize not more insults and falls judgments.

Well Mormonism does have a very big Survivalist aspect to it, that not many people read or hear about, and isn't really as large in other religions. But if you ever look into it, Mormon followers are told to stock up on canned foods and the like, incase of an emergency. Plus, like Andronicus said, they probably did as they did in the Van Buren documents, and bought a Vault of their own.

This I can confirm, as a native of Mormon Land U.S.A I see a lot of people stocking up on canned food, water, blankets, and other necessary survival supplies for emergencies which in Utah equates to massive earthquakes because we live on a few fault lines and Geology is a [censored] like that.

Bibles are everywhere, in hotel rooms, in people's homes. I would love for a questline to destroy all or certain religions.

Being atheist, I would destroy them all.

This is why religion is a no-no topic on the forums.

Even if its within the context of the game, its inevitable that some people will start an argument.

I was afraid of that which is why I tried to make the OP was game-relevant as possible ie. "Where in Fallout are religions referenced, alluded to, etc."
Damn shame so many people saw the need to voice their personal, non-fallout-related opinions concerning religion in here... :confused:
