    I think that the "resistance" parts for Bleed, Ice etc. should be removed for all profiles. All enemies in the game have a "resistance" value, it doesn't mean they are particularly resistant to that effect. Some immunities are suspicious too, like the one to Death which is most likely pure...

    Aslan 1-B Downgrade

    The onion skin worlds (although I find this justification light) have a priori no limits so it would be High 1-B.

    Aslan 1-B Downgrade

    I'm also not convinced of Aslan 1-A, which relies on some vague claims that propel it unreasonably high for such a low base. However, it also seems to me that it should not be 3-A. (but in the end I'm going to stay on an already well exaggerated Low 1-A) First of all, the whole theological...

    1-A JTTW & Abilities CRT

    This is probably an edifying presentation, unfortunately I don't speak a word of Chinese so it totally escapes me. I'm not sure I understand what is written in English either: apparently I would be wrong (I'm an ignorant person) and people would pit their false worldview against the author's...

    1-A JTTW & Abilities CRT

    If by buddha-land you mean buddha-field (buddhaksetra) then I am absolutely not convinced. Anyway you should separate the prodigies of the Buddhas from the "normal" cosmology. Finally, be careful: I am talking about worlds of infinite size, not about an infinity of worlds. It is quite certain...

    1-A JTTW & Abilities CRT

    1 I have not read JTTW. I will assume that the passages quoted in the cosmology blog are indeed good, i.e. a good representation of what the work means. 2 - Consequently, it would seem that JTTW follows the standard Buddhist cosmology based on Sumeru, four continents and layers. In this sense I...

    Yes I know, I thought there was another source. In this case, I would interpret "leveled" as meaning "razed" or "destroyed". Otherwise that would mean that the City would have been raised and then reburied. Or buried, raised and then reburied if it was built on the surface. I have already...

    As I said, I don't agree with Astel 5-C. First, where does the "rise to the ground" come from? Second, still no evidence that Astel actually destroyed the moon, even more so if the moon is (the form of) an Outer God.

    If by "addressed" you mean "to express a disagreement" then certainly. But a little more than that is necessary. I don't see the difference, but very well. You don't say what you are talking about specifically. Ranni 4-A? Elden Beast 4-A ? Radahn 4-C? The "majority" is not the same for these...

    How do you send a private message ?

    AKM sama told me that it is possible that accounts with less than 200 comments cannot send private messages. I will confirm this later. Anyway, thanks for your answers.

    It is very possible. I'll confirm that. Thank you.

    No, the Tier 4 advocates just superbly ignored the arguments against them before coming up like flowers with a "since we all agree". Typically, making straw men out of "the anti-Tier 4 argument is that stars are small stars like in myths where it's just glowy lights and not real stars" when...

    I used another browser, nothing changes. It's pretty obscure. Okay. I thank you for your answers. The question remains open. If someone had the same problem/knows how to solve it, don't hesitate.

    We didn't agree to anything. It's just that when one side goes away momentarily, it gives the impression that there is consensus. The Tier 3 comes from me. It's half troll, because I obviously don't even think there is a Tier 4 and half serious because the justification for Tier 4 leads to Tier 3.

    Hello. The question is really stupid I know. But I can't find the button/option/menu to send a private message. And I couldn't find anything on the forum that indicated it. Thanks for your answer.

    I don't think that's enough for Tier 0. But well, I'll debate the hypothetical Tiering of real-world Cthulhu religion another time.

    Holy Zeus. I am converted. I now protest against the pages of the Cthuhlu Mythos. They offend me. Although no wait. They're Tier 0. And that's cool. Keep them.

    Scientologists don't think it's fiction. I personally think Hubbard is a fraud, but under any conceivable circumstances he did not teach them it was fiction, and they did not believe it was fiction. Anyway, no Scientologist worships Xenu.

    My point is precisely that it is not its own canon. It is so not its own canon that the Chinese Buddhist "real canon" has incorporated it! This is Kabbalah. It is not the "accepted" Christian theology at all. This is the case. Obviously this is the argument that seems to convince you best...

    He did not think of inventing a new religious doctrine. But when he exposes the Heart Sutra he does so as a real and preexisting doctrinal expression. The word "novel" can be misleading. It implies a very clear separation between fiction and doctrine. This is not the case here. We must look at...

    Indeed. It's a common thing in truth.

    The comparison is good. But I still point out that in the author's mind, all the Buddhist elements in his work are not fiction in first place.
  31. Ellbekarym

    Deleting the Sun Wukong profile

    There is not really a Buddhist canon. But yes, that is it. Not so fictional since people don't know the difference. But I repeat myself, the important thing is that the religious concepts mentioned in the first place are not considered to be fiction. Let's focus on the character of Guanyin, it...

    The Sun Wukong cult preexisted the novel. The novel added to the mythology. The comparison with the Illiad is the best possible.
  33. Ellbekarym

    Deleting the Sun Wukong profile

    Indeed? I don't see the connection. The key is that in this case it is not treated as fiction. When the author talks about Guanyin he is talking about the real Guanyin. No ? Actually, that's the most important thing.

    I don't know. I would look at it. But as long as the concepts are treated as fiction, or the characters don't correspond to real deities and the work has no influence on any religion, it's less embarrassing. But I would look at it.
  36. Ellbekarym

    Deleting the Sun Wukong profile

    This is an argument, but it is not the most important one. The most important thing is that some deities are not treated as fiction by the author. This is not the Bible. But Buddhas are as basic as God, and we have a de facto tiering (false, but that's not the point) for all Buddhas.

    Over the years, I agree. This discussion has been going on for a long time. And I don't think this year's thread answers it.

    I'm tired of this argument over and over. I've responded to every "Jesus" I've been told. Is Feng Shen Bang a real deity?

    Absolutely. I see that many are eager to close the debate without having to answer the arguments which are: Sun Wukong is worshipped as a true deity (based on JTTW) The religious principles of JTTW are not treated as fiction. Representing a deity is not a reason to delete? Remind me why we...
