a·the·ist /ˈāTHēəst/ Learn to pronounce noun a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods. The dictionary definite the clearly States that atheists do not believe in the existence of God. Not that they disbelieve in the legitimacy of divine authority which is what you are seem to be implying. If Zeus appeared before an atheist, He would have himself examined by a clinical psychologist To see if he was schizophrenic.

Couldn't find the wob I was looking for but I did find this something from row. Unfortunately I can't post it here since this is a misborn spoiler's only.

Also I'm sure a word will get out that there was a faceless immortal in the aversion of the White House. That pretty much means that most people will assume that harmony was involved somehow.

1. Hoid Has said that he is not an atheist. And even challenges Jasnah on it. 2. I think you're confusing the meaning of the word God. God is a title for the supreme supernatural authority. Much like the title king Is the supreme natural authority. Atheism, Denies supernatural authority by Denying The existence of the supernatural. You may believe in the exists of animals, Jesus and Mohamad but You don't believe there is anything supernatural about them. The Cosmere is a place with the existence of the supernatural is easy to demonstrate and prove. So atheism As a means to deny Supernatural authority doesn't quite make sense with their reality. It's not to say it's not possible, Flat Earther exist afteral, But I find it unlikely that it will ever become a norm or widespread. 3.This doesn't mean that there aren't other ways to deny supernatural authority. Is these art strictly atheism. 4.Why exactly would becoming more cosmere aware make you more skeptical of the gods? Because they're flawed? That's a very Abrahamic perspective. Apart from hoid, other preshatering imortals and the shards themselves There's no reason for anyone in the Cosmere to have this perspective. Is it because Some of the vessels We're original human? Again a very Abrahamic perspective. There are plenty of religions where great heroes become gods. And even if you take The perspective that a God must have Not have a human origin. There was still the shards themselves, Not to mention the aethers.

It should be noted that, 1. I never said atheism wouldn't exist, Only they would probably be very uncommon because of the amount of brain gymnastics needed to make it work in the cosmere. 2. Believing that a particular God exist is not the same as worshipping him. As we can see with survivor vs pathism. Both the survivors and the pathists acknowledge that the other ones God exist they just don't worship them. I agree that ultimately this will only increase religious Diversity. The wonder if trellism will continue to be something in era. With trell and most of her followers dead An autonomy gone from the system for now I kind of want to say That the Cult will die off. But then I get the feeling that there gonna be important in Era 3, Still maybe a few her Followers will manage to survive and keep the faith till her return. Or maybe she will start from scratch again in 50 to 70 years.

Maybe but he hasn't become discord yet I don't think he will tell at least era 2. I can't help but wonder if Wayne will become a Saint of sorts. They already have him in the Meadow of rebirth. That place has pretty important religious significance already.

I don't see how this contradicts anything I'm saying. I never said matter energy were unlimited in the cosmere.

1. I said ignorant or self deluded not An idiot. There's a big difference, In fact evidence suggests that the smarter you are the more likely you are to be self deluded. It's easier to think up Lies for yourself if you're more intelligent. Therefore you're lies sound more convincing to yourself. 2. Even if I did say that what does that have to do with the Abrahamic religions? 3. I'll see if I can find them and post them. 4. There is no limit to a shard's power, There's just a limit to how much investures currently in the physical realm.

1. I have edited my earlier comment to addresses this. Yes, investor is infinite Usable investiture is finite. 2. I would strongly disagree on your view of Abrahamic God. If you're looking for an exclusively Abrahamic and interpretation of God then your answer is adonalsium. 3. Again adonalsium I'm is not dead just divided. And even if he was I don't see how that makes a difference. Believing that God is dead by definition makes you a non atheist. 4. It doesn't really matter, Is who said anything About exclusively Abrahamic religions

1. Strongly disagree, At the The shards collectively should be considered God. Even if you don't think the individual chards or vessels are. In my opinion though you can make an argument that even a splinter is a god With a lower case g. 2. Just because you can't do something doesn't mean you are not omnipotent. We just need to look to our real world religions for confirmation of this. The Abraham at God is considered to be omnipotent Yet there are plenty of things that he specifically says he can't do. So long as the reason a being can't do something is not "I lack the power" Then there is no violation of omnipotent. Technically Adonalaium didn't die he was divided same with all those shards. His body is at the very least still alive Or else invest arts would be impossible. The universe might not exist at all considering all matters just another form of investiture. And even if he did, There is no specific rule that says God can't die. It really depends on what kind of You are talking about. I can think of lots of religions were gods can and do die all the time. The wabs are inconsistent on this point. There are other wabs where Brandon clearly says that investigator is infinite. What he probably means there is that usable investigator Is finite.

There's nothing about omniscience that says there has to be one of them. Obviously splinters are not omniscience Unless they are reunited to the main shard. The dor Is alive and conscious. Literally the plot of the future Elantris sequel. Shards are shown to be at least partly alive yes they need a vessel But as we have seen they can choose which vessel. Besides Who cares if they interact with the vessel And not The Shard directly I don't see how this changes anything.

You must remember that era 2 Was originally supposed to be a standalone book between era 1 and era 2 (now era 3). So that's what's probably producing the feeling it was always a sort side story to prepare us for era 3.

Shards don't die vessels die but shards don't. Yes, shards are omnipotent. Harmony Vision is only blocked because of another Shard who is also omnipotent.

Agreed, but to jump and say that it's all odium doing is a little bit of a leap.

Shards are by definition omnipotent and omnipresent.

Even has a sidekick

Because of Autonomy's intent, They had proven themselves.

I mean survivorism is the main religion already. And it was already experiencing a revival or sorts after the discovery of the bands. With harmonium been so important I suspect that pathism will also continue bestrong. Sliverisum really depends On marsh and harmony. As for atheism, If anyone in the cosmere is an atheist it's because they're deluded or just ignorant.

What exactly is happening to marsh? He says that harmony invests him sometimes. Dose the make him a avatar, sliver or something else entirely? Also what with the part at the end about someone pourposely spread stories about him off world?

I like the original better

I'm not so sure they're so different they have the same ideal, goals and methods.

That's not the impression I got, what are you referring to.

Marsh isn't looking for Lerasium.

No that's just what he tells kelsier.

When? I don't Ever recall anyone doing that in stormlight?
