Too much speculation and personal opinion

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Gods

Uh, "You're not even trying to work with me, just yourself," is not even close to an insult, it's a statement of concern. For a real example, "You're a butthead" is an insult.

And everyone who formerly posted in this thread voted doesn't really constitute everyone. There are plenty more people following this.

I don't have an opinion on the descendants of gods section. It doesn't bother me, but they aren't gods and this is a page about gods. Though I'd rather not have a primarily empty page about the two of them if you're going to be that insistent.

In any event, this is a prime example of speculation: "I remember Kristell in G1 calling Glas as a god... As for Cromm, I wasn't the one who put that there." There is no direct quote, here. And you don't have to play through the game to see the quotes, they're transcribed in the strategy guide, apparently.

Objectively, no, Glas is not a god, nor is Cromm, nor is Lugh, nor is Corple.

First of all, with Glas, there is not only one Glas, it's a species from another world. The fact that there are **many** of them implies that it's not a god. To quote from the book: "There is a story that says several giants, larger than a house, came and destroyed and burned everything...which must've been the Glas Ghaibhleanns."

Cromm, there's nothing that actually calls him a god. Titles mean nothing, because they're often hyperbole. In fact: "Cromm Cruaich is a Dragon who is a pet of the Goddess, Macha." - He's just a pet.

Lugh is just a miletian that became an important commander under Cichol. Nothing ever called him the "God of Light", anyway, I have no idea where anyone pulled that out of. As long as it's not someone's ass, show me where it even says that, not like it'd mean anything anyway.

Corple is clearly not a god, it's only a term emphasizing his ability. Being unable to see that only states your inability to critically read texts.

Tip for being a pro wiki editor: Burden of proof is on the person who made the positive claim. As for the criteria, I don't know, it seems pretty common sense to me. Would you believe someone's a god in real life if only one person said so? Would you believe it if someone you trusted as being a god told you so? Would you believe it if he himself told you? Would you believe it if people claimed one was a god of an ability? I'm not going to answer these questions, partially because they have different answers and partially because they're rhetorical. But seriously, you say "fact is fact" like you're actually quoting facts and all I seem to hear are vague memories of years ago when you may have done the generation and maybe an NPC said something, maybe. Stop it.
