you know that God is a woman, right ?

she is, yep

Well personally I'm more offensed by the fact that those Offerings are now unidentified :P

I don't have any ideas about god, I have never met him thus far, but he seems kinda like a dick... he caused plagues, drowned the world and I assume he watches human misery just for his entertainment. If we would be intelligent design... well we would eventually work better. Humans constantly malfunction, break easily and they aren't avaible in enough colors.

I'm not sure I got this straight, but in case I did, I sincerely hope this is just a troll post... With that said...

Is your problem that you find "Goddess" offensive as a Christian?

The game is asking for the following:
Sacrifice + Goddess + Me

But I'm saying:
Sacrifice + Goddess + PoE = No Me

Because if that is the case - if the game you play clashes with your belief system - I propose you either change your obnoxious belief system, or take your obnoxious belief system and go play some other game that goes well with it and doesn't trigger you.

Trigger? Lol the only thing obnoxious here is having a troll respond when I'm trying to communicate about being forced to leave a game I really like.

But if you'd like to criticize me for my faith, please, by all means: I consider it a blessing (even though you're just an internet troll).

And I also propose that in the future, you keep whatever problems your obnoxious belief system causes to yourself, because guess what? They are YOUR problems, caused by YOUR obnoxious belief system, and none of us care even the slightest amount about them. Deal with whatever it is yourself.

Your hostility isn't necessary, and, really, makes you look bad.

I tried to make this as cordial as I could. I sure as heck hope GGG places no weight in this stuff, just like they did in the past.

No, you didn't even feign an attempt at cordiality. Maybe GGG will ignore me and I won't be able to play. I've accepted that as the primary possibility. But it's also possible that they might just change a String of text from "Offering to the Goddess" to "Labyrinth Token."

Lmao.

Don't you have problem with demons, mutations, magical gems and, well, magic overall?
If I were you, I'd consult priest (or whoever you go to) whenever you are allowed to play video games such as Path of Exile at all. Pretty sure they will tell you it isn't ok.

So one item being called Offering to the Goddess isn't a problem at all. Sorry.

I have no problem with fantasy, or with play, but there are lines I do not cross. This is one of them.

I appreciate you might not understand where I'm coming from, but your ignorance isn't an excuse for your presumptive condescension.

I mean, it doesn't even make sense. Why introduce an "offering" in the first place, especially when you're fighting against Izaro? Sacrifice to the thing piggyback riding on your nemesis? Makes no sense.

@GGG: I'd appreciate a response, even via PM. I'm not a troll; I'd just, at the least, like to know my concern isn't going unheard.

The goddess imbued Izaro with her gifts.

If you want to challenge Izaro, and claim her patronage (Ascending, Enchanting, and the Items from the Labyrinth), you need to offer her something to prove that you're worthy of her time.

Goddess is just her nickname, because she is so generous. She can't be a real goddess, because of all that piggyback stuff. Now go back to killing demons!

but using magic, wearing magical items is ok?
I though in the bible any magical stuff unrelated to jesus is satan work.

I too have a problem playing MtG because you can possibly "summon" demons! The blasphemy!

Nevermind that you can play elves, goblins, humans, machines, animals, tentacle corruption monsters, and even angels and greekish Gods! Playing a fantasy game that has non-(insert religion here) backstory is just unacceptable!

.... I figured out a solution though. Be Amish.
