I believe it’s coming. I believe that the devs are fully planning to give us enemies to fight representing all of the cosmic forces, assuming WoW lives that long. In fact, I think that was the whole purpose of developing the cosmic chart in the first place.

That would be so very dumb and boring if we’re just supposed to do this in six directions but I cannot rule it out.

The Old Testament was put together by Hebrew Scribes in the year 800 B.C.E.
The New Testament would not be assembled until 1200 years later. And that would include revisement of what the Old Testament consisted of. The other thing you seem to miss is that the New Testament really doesn’t touch that much about God itself… it’s all about the Son.
Why do so many people single out Christianity for what happened to the Caananites and the Amalekites when that was done under Judaism? Why do people keep blaming Christianity for things done before Christianity existed?
Not only have those “skeletons in the closet” been addressed repeatedly, not only do we keep getting whacked over the head with them centuries afterwards (the Crusades ended over 600 year ago, the Spanish Inquisition ended over 180 years ago - everyone involved in both is long dead), we Christians are even being blamed for the actions of others.
Why single out Christianity when the Old Testament also applied to Judaism?
Because in America Christianity is the religion that has everyone by the throat.
Because we don’t have any serious movement to make this country a Jewish Theocracy, A Buddhist Theocracy nor even a Muslim Theocracy. The only religion that’s a serious threat to our liberties is Christianity. Not only do they want a Religious Theocracy they want to tie Fascism to it as well. And those fascist Christians just love those Old Testament genocides.

I’ve heard some inaccurate, opinionated political and personal comments before, but this is one of the worst I’ve ever heard. Citation needed.
You hate us Christians so much, you swallow any anti-Christian propaganda that comes your way to the point of blaming followers of Christianity for things done by followers of Judaism thousands of years ago, and using the actions of followers of Judaism as an excuse to hate Christians or Christianity.
And a Handmaid’s Tale is a work of fiction, not prophecy. Saying we Christians want a theocracy tied to fascism is like saying all Muslims want a caliphate where women are baby makers and sex slaves, or saying all atheists want to kill all religious people.
A lot of the liberates in the U.S were created by Christians, open a history book. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr, Cassius Clay (the namesake of the boxer who later renamed himself Muhammad Ali)… and Christians are helping maintain a lot of them too. By the way, all overturning Roe vs Wade did was take the power to regulate abortions from the hands of federal government and give it to all the state governments, nothing more (the U.S won’t become the Republic of Gilead because of this, and that was never the plan)
If you said this about any other religion in a public forum, you’d likely get reprimanded or banned for hate speech. Christianity doesn’t have everyone by the throat in America, like most bigoted people for their objects of hate, you just feel oppressed by its existence and by our existence.
P.S Buddhism is an atheistic religion, a Buddhist government can’t be a theocracy. And the same oppression you complain about has also been done by other religions and atheists, look at the history of State Atheism. You’re giving Christians too little credit, or you’re giving non-Christians - especially the non-religious atheists - too much.
P.P.S Now can we get back to the discussion about the story of Warcraft’s Light and you actually say something smart?
That reminds me of the intended story I heard about in an interview regarding BfA.
Apparently, Malfurion was originally supposed to die in BfA. And he was supposed to be killed by Tyrande, who did so somewhat unwittingly in Night-Warrior rage. Afterward, Tyrande woud’ve given up the Night Warrior powers and this would’ve been the springboard for a story about Life, Elune and her relationship with the Night Elves.
I think that would’ve been a horrible idea. On that note, I think the Titans were originally supposed to be changed to represent extreme order (Algalon, re-origination, the Mogu under Lei-Shen), but for some reason they changed gears and tried to bludgeon the Naaru’s story into this frame instead.

There already is Christianity tied to facism at play in America, it’s not fiction. Women are not allowed to have life saving medical care and access to birth control, The pharmacists personal Catholic faith is given more precident than a woman’s right to medical assistance.
You can’t blame Judiasm on that because Judiasm doesn’t believe life begins at conception, but at first breath. Catholicism in America has Americans on the verge of another civil war, it’s Catholicism that is the most oppressive religion in the West.
The Catholic Church is responsible for the genocide and near extinction of North American indigenous people. The pope just admitted to genocide and tried to apologize a few weeks ago.

Not to mention Chrisitian absolutely HATE the LGBTQ+ community and would do away with them all if they could. Far Right Christian Extremists are a major threat in the US and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you.
Nevermind this is the same religion where the Church covered up and protected pedo priests. It’s the LAST religion I’m going to listen to on morals
Trying to bring negative attention to Judaism and the Jewish people seems to be one of your favorite distractions from the actual topic.
I suppose many people who espouse this radical Christian Fundamentalist ethos spend alot of their time finding ways to attack Judaism.

Et tu, Micah? You speak of starting over a new leaf with me, and then you make such a vile blanket statement about my entire religion? To give the benefit of the doubt, if you meant the Christian Right, while still a disingenuous generalization, you didn’t clarify in your comment.
Even the Westboro Baptist Church, nasty as they are, that’s less than 1% of the U.S population that identifies as Christian, hasn’t killed a single gay person (all they’d need to do is have one member grab a gun and start shooting). Also note that no Christian majority country has the death penalty for homosexuality (the only countries that have that these days are some of the Islamic ones…).
While I oppose the pedo priests, they make up less than 1% of the Catholic Church’s priests. Sounds like you’re blaming all Christianity? Shall we apply that same logic to blame all Muslims for ISIS? Or all atheists for Soviet Russia? Or all pagans for Viking raids like those of Turgesius? Of course not, so please stop such bigoted-sounding generalizations tarring all with the same brush.
Saying “I won’t listen to this religion for morality because some of its followers have done bad things” would disqualify every religion, including your own, and atheism too.
Well, yeah. I meant the extremists. Should have clarified that. Sorry. I just find them to be hypocritical is all, they rarely practice what they preach.
And as far as the whole morality thing, as least us pagans aren’t trying to ram our religion down everyone else’s throat in america. Besides, you do know atheism isn’t a religion right? People who are atheists don’t believe in any religion

Actually it’s Evangelical Protestant faiths that have been the major driving force in American politics, the Southern Baptists et.al. It takes willful blindness to assume that Catholicism is the sole or main driving force.

I’m pretty sure the folks that literally tortured and beat to death Matthew Shepard were “good upstanding Christians”. Maybe it’s an numerical minority but Right Wing Christians are a petri dish for hate based crimes. And the churches behind them are not only silent on these crimes they perpetuate the hate.

Thanks for clearing that up. While such hypocrisy is not limited to Christians or religious people, I share your distaste for hypocrisy among Christians or others.
And most of us Christians would not wipe out the gay community if we could (even though I suspect certain people would definitely wipe us Christians out if they could, or would celebrate if it happened to us, and I think at least a couple of them are in this comment section…).
If pagans were the majority, some of them would try to force the religion onto others. While atheism is not a religion, there are atheists who are just as outspoken about their views, get just as offended as any religious person when said worldview is questioned or criticized and get violently intolerant towards those who don’t share their worldview and try to force them to change or die.

You should clarify that it’s a numerical minority instead of making statements that sound like you tar all with the same brush.
I’m not certain whether the people who killed Matthew Shepard were, and I don’t condone his murder, Christian or not. Anymore than I’m pretty sure Devin Kelley - the man who shot up that church in Sutherland Springs and killed 27 people - was a “rational, upstanding, good without God” atheist… actually, the only part of that which applies to Kelley is he was an atheist (a religion-hating one).
Now instead of venting your anti-Christian prejudices and joining Renautus in trying to turn this thread about Warcraft’s Light into an anti-Christian hate thread, do you have anything actually smart to say?
If that were a requirement to post here, most of your posts would not be in this thread to begin with.
… and none of yours would be, unless you intend to prove otherwise with your next comment. So do you have anything that’s actually smart to add to the original topic of the thread?
Just an observation :
Your constant appeals to anti-semitism are quite a bit off topic from the Light in Warcraft.
People are discussing the Light and Christianity because even the old Warcraft 2 Churches had crosses - so people would see them as churches, even if “The Crucifixion” is not part of WoW canon.
You keep wanting to blame the Jews for something.
And that answers my question smh
Can you explain how it’s supposedly the fault of followers of Christianity that followers of Judaism inflicted genocide on the Caananites and Amalekites hundreds of years before Christ walked the earth or Christianity as a religion even existed?
Do you have any actually intelligent comments to make about the original topic, or even ones that don’t involve hate speech or false accusations?
I just want you to know that it’s nothing against you personally. I just had a…long history with Christianity and there’s a long list of reasons why I stopped believing in that particular faith many years ago.
Again, nothing personal, I hope we’re still golden.
