Lack of Church in WoW

From the earliest days. Warcraft always included churches, in the name of the Light. Why has this stopped expending? The last one that has been built was in Wrath of the Lich King under the Scarlet Crusade.

The culture of Warcraft has changed so much that’s becoming barely recognizable. Related to that, we’re going in the realm of the dead, without Exorcism, it would be a very welcomed returned to make Paladins being Paladins again.

Exorcism was about damaging the unholy undead, not the dead. Shadowlands is the realm of Death, not the Undead.

Didn’t we have a church as the priest class hall in legion?

Also the light isn’t as glorious and good as we once believed. We aren’t as dumb as we were before. Now that we’ve traveled to different time lines and worlds our knowledge has gone far beyond what it was before.

When you learn most of the races on earth were once stone or aliens or created by aliens the light doesn’t seem so important anymore

Edit also don’t talk about paladins being paladins again when you’re a horde, blood elf paladin which stretches the lore completely thin to begin with

And demons. Which would have been nice I. legion. I hardly doubt there is nothing of unholy in the Sahdowlands considering the scourge was born from the powers of Frostmourne and held in leash with the crown of Damnation.

Temple of Nether light. Where no one has clue where it’s at and seems odly to look like a Draenei ship.

In before this thread devolves into a debate about atheism and religion.

Well if some alien theories are to believed many religions have other worldy beings coming from the “heavens”. So most holy stuff could be stuff like extra terrestials. Lol. But yea there are some churches in Legion with the class halls. The dranei also have holy places. They are space aliens that are religious. With light beings who are extra-azerothians.

Not because I post on my forum poster means I don’t have Alliance Paladin.

There IS no debate. The truth is we, IRL, cannot prove the existence or absence of any divine presence innthe universe-much less define it.

The TRUTH is that Gnomes are the superior race and one day, you ALL will bow to us…OR DIE!

Wait. Maybe that’s delusion. I’m not sure.

There are a lot of churches and temples, all across the world, we just been too busy fighting new and crazier things each passing year we haven’t had time to build new ones or repair existing ones. Look at Light Hope’s Chapel, its all run down… someone spent a lot of gold to outfit its basement though.

Light’s Hope looks plenty fine outside. It’s a chapel.

There actually is debate. Which side can top the other with childish insults because they don’t see things the same way? Stay tuned.

Also, what happens when you bow and are still taller than the one you’re bowing to?

We make you build a higher throne so we can properly use our subjects as foot rests.

Respect is still earned; the social courtesy of the bow isn’t to lower yourself below someone else, but that you show humbleness towards someone.

Very much agree, I may not be a Paladin but I still worship the light outside my study of the arcana.

I’m pretty sure there’s churches in BFA zones? or at least a chapel near that graveyard in drusvar? you just cant enter them?

Aragorn only managed it because the hobbits were on a platform of sorts I think, and it was a full blown kneel.

I bet if those soldiers in full plate armor had knelt down, they would have fallen over. Plate is extremely bulky and cumbersome, you can barely bow in it.

None. There’s none in the Kul Tiran zones. Even by graveyards.

The Kul Tiran don’t worship the Light, they worship the Sea. Why would they have churches dedicated to the Light?

The church aspect is still there, it’s just been adopted by the playerbase.

Fortas (I think that’s how his name was spelled) used to hold sermons of the Light at the Cathedral abbey every two weeks on Saturdays. Considering this warlock actually sat through them to listen, that’s gotta tell you how good those sermons were. :smiley:
