I still can't believe there are people on this site who think PSU is a serious user and isn't trolling at all.
Poe's Law, man. There's some ridiculous people in the world that genuinely believe these things.
PSU has been doing this for years. Parodying the average American conservative is like his only trolling tactics.
Well, that and calling people pussies.

Hydras you are on the ground so doesnt count
How else do you propose implementing sea monsters would work? There are no boating or swiming mechanics in the Souls games. The Hydra is fully in deeper water while you're waist deep.
Maybe a boss fight where you're on a boat crossing an inland sea or lake

Is there some kind of god out there? Possibly, is it the abrahamic god? No, the abrahamic god is a fictional character.
Maybe there is some powerful cosmic being out there.
And maybe a large upright ape wanders the North American wilderness

Demon's Souls has a giant Stingray called the Lord of Storms.

Dark Souls1 has two Hydra's.

Dark Souls 2 has you fight the Flexile Sentry in a ship that is slowly sinking and filling with water, and later on a giant Frog like demon that attacks you in a sunken area with beams of water and whatnot.
Lord of storms flies

Hydras you are on the ground so doesnt count

« on: October 07, 2014, 01:11:03 PM »
I have mixed feelings right now in regards to religion. I want to believe that some higher being exists and that everything has a purpose, but still the bleak feeling persists for me that we are merely insignificant bags of complex chemicals on a clump of rock in some far flung section of a galaxy.

I'm not going to bury my head in the sand and say "GOD DONE IT", though. I just wish there was some... evidence that a deity exists. Alas, our minds are limited and we don't realize it, so we attempt to come up with explanations for our existence. We reach problems quickly when we try to explain what happened before the big bang or what creates a deity. It goes on forever.

Sometimes I envy the folks that truly believe in religions, as they will never experience this cold, empty feeling to the degree that I (and presumably many others) have.

If we are to teach the Abrahamic creation story in school, we must also teach every other creation story.

Hindu, Buddhist, ancient Norse, Greek, Zoroastrian, Sikh, etc.

We just don't have time to cover all of that, so why should we cover any one specifically at all?

Oh, that's fracking right, because Christians want their religion, and only theirs, cemented and enforced in our schools and government.

Who said that?

I'd want all religions taught.

Surely schools could get through all major religions within 4 years of highschool.
No, not all major religions, all religions we know of, ever.

Popularity does not equal validity.

So you learn ALL Instruments in music?
All art styles in Art?
All sports in PE?

No, you learn the major ones.

I get what you're trying to say, but religion is a whole other matter.

These aren't styles or subgenres or games, they are belief sets. To promote a few while ignoring others is to treat them as if they are more valid, which is quite simply untrue.

What makes them any more valid than the other thousands of belief systems man has tried on over the millennia?
Nothing theologically.

But to pretend that knowledge about current religions - and subsequently their socio-politico-economic effect - is worthless is to lie.
You're right, but educators are not perfect, and you can be sure there will be skewed depictions of these belief sets from every teacher. It's bad enough here in NC, one of the more respectable southern states, where every year I've had one or two teachers start preaching to the class about some religious matter or other. You can be sure that it would devolve into a bible study/islam bashing session here.

Religious history? That I can get behind, studying the development and spread of these religions.

But to just teach the faiths? God, no. That is disaster in the making.

We should at least teach all of the Abrahamic religions to some degree in schools, as well as maybe two of contemporary Eastern tradition.

Only in explicitly marked religious studies classes, though.

I don't know why I'm saying "we" as if I live in the U.S. or have some stake in it.
Why those specifically?
