    Default Are we allowed to talk about Judeo-Christian mythology

    As long as we don't talk about the beliefs and moralities of either religion, can we talk about the mythologies? i.e. Jesus stuff, the angels, Noah's Ark, etc.

    Default Re: Are we allowed to talk about Judeo-Christian mythology

    From experience: No*, and this also applies to ancient mythologies. For instance, we can only discuss Thor as he exists in OotS or the Marvel universe.

    *Of course, there are exceptions. I've gotten away with brief mentions before. Such as passingly referencing the Bible as literature to explain the Greek words for love, or using the real-life St. Nicolas as inspiration for a Pathfinder Grab Bag. (It's why my Santa-themed PrC was built for Paladins and Clerics)

    Sheriff:No. The fact that someone might have gotten away with some such references around the edges in the past, does not make it acceptable under the rules or advisable. Give the entire topic you mentioned a wide berth.
