Does this unit have a soul, Any Forums?
Mass Effect
Nah but you're cool and you shoot baddies
No, souls don't exist.
>have the technology to travel beyond lightspeed and explore the far reaches of the galaxy
>still believing in some form of God
my memory is a bit hazy but the other species had religions too, right? I think the hanar and elkor in particular were super religious?
Doesn't that seem a bit out of place in a science fiction setting?
Why would it be?
The first sip from the glass of natural sciences will make you an atheist, but god is waiting for you at the bottom
Or something like that, too lazy to find the actual quote
his death is the best moment in the trilogy, those final moments where he stops reffering to himself as we and instead uses i.
Hanar worshipped the enkindlers who you find out in ME3 are actually the reapers so it was a religion at least based on something tangible unlike stupid ass Ashley.
In her defense, which I don't know why I'd defend worst girl, contact with aliens is still relatively new in Mass Effect so they probably hadn't come to their senses yet due to cognitive dissonance.
I still really don't understand what you're trying to say, it's not like aliens arriving completely invalidates religion.
This seems like you're projecting amerimutt culture onto the game desu
Same voice actor. Does that answer your question?
>Hanar worshipped the enkindlers who you find out in ME3 are actually the reapers
I'm pretty sure the endkindlers they worship were the Protheans.
>atheist
>has no idea what he's talking about
They literally worshipped the PROTHEANS how the hell did you miss that. The game literally shoves it in your face
I mean the singular God from western religion, not religion entirely. As mentioned with the Hanar, some religions were at least based on something relevant thus persisted. The concept of God as in Judaism, Christianity, Catholocism, and other religions around that faith would be btfo because of the whole "created in god's image" etc etc.
Why people believe in God now while completely ignoring the bible and all religious text regarding God is nonsensical and pathetic and it's insulting people preach what they themselves have no intention of practicing. It's like Saints Row where it's current form has nothing to do with the original and might as well be called something else entirely.
Ngl seems like you're heavily projecting your own weird thing against religion. This is explained in game if you're actually that bothered by it, just talk to Ashley in ME1.
Admittedly yeah I'm sick of modern religion, it's for faggots. In my defense, the last time I ran through the trilogy I played the entirety of ME1 and 2 on acid
I completely misinterpreted that one citadel mission with that Hanar working with the reapers.
lol

What does that have to do with God? The galaxy is just space & matter.
you know quantum mechanics are pointing in the direction of intelligent design, right?
In the context of human exceptionalism relative to the Christian creation myth, finding other life who knows nothing of Earth's Gods would probably stand as a significant ideological challenge to all established religions.
There's also the notion that there has to be tangible proof of God SOMEWHERE, but after scouring so much of space and not finding a shred of evidence, I think anyone's faith would be shaken.
Or maybe I'm just overthinking it, OR maybe I'm placing too much weight on the reality of the Mass Effect universe disproving God's existence.
Wouldn't someone coming back from the dead be considered evidence? I'm sure if that hypothetically happened it would still be the bedrock of culture thousands of years later and there would be billions of worshippers. If that happened. Or modern physics saying time, space, and matter began 13 billion years ago? An infinite universe makes no sense since it's made of space and matter that began a finite time ago.
More soul than a Krogan, or a Batarian, or a Turian.

No.
Shepard...
If it had, it would date Tali.
