Religion of Evil/Playing With: Difference between revisions

* '''Double Subverted''': ...but their method of [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|ending all suffering]] is an [[Ancient Conspiracy]] to [[Omnicidal Maniac|extinguish all life]].

** The Cult of Azaaroth began as a brutal, vicious, bloodthirsty religion... but since [[Have You Seen My God?|Azaaroth is nowhere to be seen]], the religion eventually goes mainstream and, to attract converts, slowly turns into a [[Lighter and Softer]] version of itself. Red wine substitutes for blood, unpleasant tenets are explained away as complex metaphors or swept under the rug, sacrifices are replaced by plays in which nobody actually gets hurt, and the few traditionalists who still bother with skulls at all use ceramic ones instead instead of the real deal.

* '''Zig Zagged''': The Cult of Azaaroth seem to be scary cultists. But they have good intentions. But they achieve their good goals via torture and human sacrifice. But it turns out the "torture" is really [[Training Fromfrom Hell]], allowing the "sacrifice victims" to voluntarily [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]]. But when they get there, they're conscripted into a war of angels vs demons-- and both sides claim to be the angels.
