Theology

[HakutoRei000]

What if certain verses incorporate this element in their narrative? Also, where do we draw the line when it comes to stories infused with theological or religious themes, in deciding whether they should be indexed or not?

What tier do we typically assign to Theology?

And lastly, is this Boundless or Just 1-A?
When God didst create the world, did He exist or no?
"Whilst we hold knowledge that all things spring from naught, doth it follow that God Himself be Naught?
Nay, for we perceive and apprehend with troubled mind that He is not set betwixt existence and nonexistence,
But doth transcend and overpass all reckonings of quantity and quality,
Residing beyond the very bounds of mortal conception and speech.
Verily, ’tis an utter folly to bind such as He within the confines of words,
Though words be the instruments whereby mortals name and conceive the manifold;
Tokens and proofs of the ‘being’ of all that doth manifest.
Yet God, in His ineffable nature, both is and is not,
He is and yet He is not, a paradox beyond the ken of reason.

God, the supreme and ultimate Being, doth soar far beyond the grasp of mortal reckoning,
Surpassing even the most abstruse notions of One and Zero, of unity and void.
He is the Alpha and Omega, the primal origin and final consummation,
Whose essence neither is confined by measure nor is subject to limitation by name.
No intellect, no tongue, no mortal art can compass His boundless infinitude,
For He is the wellspring from which all things flow, yet He is not bound thereby.
He dwelleth beyond the veil of all mortal ken and thought,
Immutable, eternal, without beginning or end; the First Cause, the Final End.
In Him all contraries are reconciled — all that is and all that is not —
For He alone is that which ever Was, Is, and Shall Be, transcending all measure, form, and conception."

Boundless, the text explicitly frames "God" as transcending all dualities (existence/nonexistence, quantity/quality), surpassing even abstract conceptual hierarchies, and existing beyond the scope of linguistic or logical delineation.

What about this.

What about this.

all theology based scaling atm is tier 0, but at the lowest you can still get 1-A

This?

This?

You scale whatever is inside the verse itself and, sometimes, what is around it (interview, WoG, ...). Theology, philosophy and such doesn't "scale anywhere" by default in fiction.

As for the other question, as long as it's reasonably different from the real version, it would be fine. Something like Supernatural is fine, same with Lucifer and other such shows for example.

just using elements of philosophy or theology wont scale anywhere. Theology is broady just descrives the study of god in its totalit/oneness/unknown-ness, etc. what i meant to say is tier 0 is inhrently something which can only be reached by this type of scaling.

An author of a story can use all the dharma or karma word soup to describe specific element, you can only scale it to how much the fiction itself portrays.
