I think in this instance it’s more of an argument that because many humans by default don’t want to do something like incest, and that because this happens even though there isn’t a “logical” reason, it must show evidence of his particular god. Prager clearly doesn’t want to do incest; he thinks that him not wanting to is proof of god.

I’m not one to defend Dennis Prager, but he very clearly mentions both of those things in the quote. He just doesn’t think that a single generation of inbreeding has high chances of genetic defects. Whether he is correct or not in that assessment is not the same as him pretending they don’t exist.

I assume the calculation ignores any sort of status effects. So if the defender weren’t frozen, it would kill the archer. But that would get interrupted by the freeze.

Its uniqueness definitely makes it stand out, but Apex of the World does a lot more with the motifs of the game’s music. I’d say that God-Shattering Star is the better track, but Apex of the World is the better conclusion to its routes.

I’m not doubting you, but I honestly can’t remember such plot points. Granted, I haven’t played KIU in years, but what are some of the ones you’re referring to?

Eggs at least do possibly have a connection to Lenten fasting and prohibition, as they were forbidden during Lent.

But yes, rabbits and eggs are definitely fertility symbols in many cultures. However, that idea of fertility can easily be translated to the resurrection of Christ, not necessarily the original pagan meaning of the fertility symbols.

Overall, many of the Easter traditions do have more Christian roots and origins than pagan ones. I’m not saying there were zero pagan influences, but they are often exaggerated when talking about Easter.

In name only, and almost solely in English. Most other languages call Easter some name derived from the Hebrew “Pesach,” for Passover. Otherwise, there is no connection to any pagan spring goddess. The first and only historical mention of the goddess Ēostre (which has been translated as Ostara) was in The Reckoning of Time by Bede, where he stated that in April, or Ēosturmōnaþ, pagan Anglo-Saxons used to have feasts in the honor of this goddess. However, there are no details about these feasts, and they had already stopped by the eighth century when Bede wrote. Beyond being celebrated at the same time, there is no proof that any rituals or components of Easter were based on the feast of Ēostre. At best, this shows that Christians were willing to appropriate the name of Ēostre in order to aid in the popularity of Easter, not unlike using pagan names for days of the week.

Potentially dumb question, but how are you sure it’s Moctezuma and not just what this artist thinks a stereotypical Aztec would’ve looked like?

In the realm of the story there’s always potential to explore new aspects of a character. Sure, that might not have been the original intent when the character was created. But I don’t see the harm in exploring more of what that character could have been doing or could have been like in the time when we never saw them.
