I hadn't been listing all the deities that were listed in the individual religion pages, just the unclassified ones. we should change this page to either give each deity their own religion page, or remove the list from the bottom and create a deities page and also add the dwarven and elfin pantheon gods.

Yeah, a spereate page sounds good. I'll create said page and links to it on this page and the front page (subsection of people).

While the topic of partial birth abortions is unpleasant and contivertial, I believe that Battal's religions should continue to have thier stance on the issue stated in thier synopisis. Any religion with depth is willing to try to tackle such questions and I believe knowing what they think about the things we least like to think/talk about is usefull in understanding the essence of the religions.

Then why the hell aren't religions stances on every other thing listed there as well? There's no reason to single it out amongst all other things. It's a pointless and qute unclever attempt at humor on somebody's part, as outside of one or two "very special episodes" of the Wizbits, the word abortion isn't even mentioned, and the attitudes various religions have toward it (to my recollection) never plays in a significant way in the development of characters or the timeline.

Stances on other issues aren't included most likely because nobody (myself included) thought adding more of the same would be a worthwhile contribution. You do have a valid point that abortion is seldom mentioned in the literature.
In my humble opinion having this one, little refferenced, fact is better then not having it at all. However if a more relevant fact comes to your mind I will support you in reworking the pages. Also, I admit, if I'm the only one on this wiki that feels the "partial birth abortions"
sections are additions We're most likely better of without them.

A more relevant fact? The list goes on and on. What is sacred? What is profane? What ritual practices are important? How is communion with the sacred/spiritual achieved? How is it organized? Basic world view? (or how individuals fit into the world, etc etc) And so on and so on. Religions have so many much more important and defining characteristics, and the hamfisted and juvenile simplicity with with they are sometimes approached in fantasy has resulted in many inaccurate and sensasionalistic portrayals of RPG's having connections with sadism and the occult. I admit that my concern for the religous tolerance of fantasy worlds may be something unique to myself... and I might possibly have played a priest in the pen & paper RPG for too long.

The idea was to have a sort of "snapshot" of how their views are practiced by looking at something usually not included in ecylopedic knowledge. "no, but we won't try and stop you" demostrates Reformed Vuksveufians equivicable attitude twoards morality and the Hatetairianery view demonstrates their inability to deal with such issues meaningfully. I'm not saying any of those things shouldn't be added. I just meant that I thought adding that different perspective was illuminating and that if you could find another way to do so, you would have my agreement/support.

Well if by "adding a different perspective" you mean ignoring the defining characteristics of Battal's religions in favor of looking for a cheap laugh at a conteporary Earth issue... then no, I don't think I'd care find another way to do that.

Did someone abort your parents or something?

THAT one I actually laughed at.

Yes, in in the act of providing that one peice of information I am totally ignoring vast amounts of important information. Just like when I say "It's a sunny day" I'm completely ignoring the holocaust.
And fine, you don't have to agree with me. But do you have anything to add other then saying that you personally dislike it and will be equally discontent with all shapes, forms, dirivites of it, things in it's style, allusions to it, and compromises?

personally I was not sad to see them go because I couldn't see how this top would be extended and expanded upon by most entries other than allowed, disallowed, not stated (with only a few notable exceptions) which isn't very interesting or informative.

perhaps a more open ended field for the final info box in which that information could optionally be included, rather than it being the template for every religion page?
