funny all i see is science we know and science we don't know, which primitive cultures/people tend to call "magic".

The real reason why this thread annoys me is that sooner or later Lord Xia will be asking for salted pony. 

No I'm serious but not as serious as a lot of people are making this. I use the salted pork. Its a good cheap heal and anyone who isnt using it is a noob. However, every time I do detracts from my enjoyment of the game because in my culture(which is practice by a large chunk of humanity for thousands of years) pork is bad. I should have said add other heal items rather than remove pork..but still it would be nice to take my enjoyment of the game into account and make this very minor change.

Attempting to push banning something from the game is intolerant, but just as intolerant are those who reply with 'because you refuse to eat pork, I'm gonna eat more pork just to make you angry.'  At least the OP has some semblance of obliviousness to the effect he's trying to push on everyone, the mongers who post they're going to do something specifically to ire the OP are certainly no better.

I think most are making comments because of the very obliviousness you are referring too.  I think Heavenfall had the easiest approach.

I hate to make an assumption on which culture the OP is from, but most cultures also state it is a bigger crime to die than to eat a pig.  So even in game terms, the OP is choosing the lesser of two evils practiced by one of the two cultures that I am assuming he/she is part of.

That said, the spell Steal Spirit the OP would also surely have an issue with.  Every religious culture I know of would have a problem with a person that is capable of stealing a spirit while murdering someone.  How about Cull the Weak?  For the meek share inherit the world.  Except in Elemental, they are merely cannon fodder for me to kill so I can have more mana.  How about sacrificial altar, or Blood Rage (wrath is a sin), or the spell "KILL" and "Sacrifice" and Soulburning.  Blood Curse i'm sure is another one that will have some issues.  Summon Imp is basically calling a demon to your service.

The obliviousness is the issue.  You look at the game as a whole there is probably something in there to offend every culture.  Are you going to take all of that out?  Each person can mod it out on their own but then you are going to have some serious game play issues.  Any Sovereign that is Death Magic based is pretty much screwed.  Of course there is the aspect that this is just a game and no one is really doing all this stuff, including eat salted pork---which again is even allowed in case of stopping ones death.

****edit****Polistes--you edited your comment while I was typing mine.

This is silly,

what about vegans. Salted fish or meat is a problem, so is milk.

If this was to be corrected. it should be something like salted orc ( or some fantasy meat that cannot be mapped to some religious or political issue)

Remember this is game. it is not a religious/political simulation

How Tolkien of you Frog.

As I read this thread and munch on my bacon wrapped ham I think to myself...

I wonder if you can ignore a user and not see his posts or threads?

If this guy was serious and not trolling for attention then he would know that not eating bacon is all about sacrifice. And not getting cheap heals reinforces that sacrifice and makes him a better person. He should specifically not eat it and feel better about himself because of it.

In the meantime I can't believe I replied to this troll post

It's not you or your culture that's in this game, however.  It's a sovereign, who has appeared following a different world history, with it's own unique lore.  You aren't eating salted pork, anymore than you're starting up cities, hiring champions, or casting spells that grow and shrink people, slow them down, heal them, etc.  Your sovereign is.  So with respect, I don't see the issue.

And as others have already pointed out, you can always mod the item away very easily.  Or ignore it when it shows up.  I mean, your religion also says no killing, right?  You're actually killing creatures as much as you're eating salted pork when you play FE, which is to say, not at all.

While we're at it, please consider correcting other egregious offenses against mankind. Off the top of my head:

-Abolish Magnar

-Axe Raise Land - think of the coral reefs!!!

-Send Irane back to the kitchen (sheesh)

-Curgen's Volcano - are you promoting genocide, Brad? A more humane spell like Lift City to L5 Space Colony would do.

They weren't atheist they were religious zealots who believe very very strongly in communism. Which is a religion that does not tolerate other religions

PS. Still waiting on an answer to "how can you be both jewish and muslim at the same time" since the op claims to follow BOTH kashrut and halal.

This thread made me hungry.
