Religious Implication?

I don't find it particulairely bad for a lot of long, memorible games have held great religious implication -- Crono Trigger, Zelda, Marrowind have all been touched by divine in some way or another... Based upon religion in an obscure way, and yet, such as the three gods who forged the triforce, haven't offended very much people. Religion, although a very serious topic, is something deemed mature content, and thus, a child of thirteen years of age shouldn't be exposed to such. This may be extending the rule as for Graal itself is named after a holy artifact (The holy grail, for those who haven't noticed.. Graal is french for Grail ), alas, I do not see much to bicker about, but this can be held against me in any case.

The question arrises... How much religion implications may I put into the server without violating any rules or codes?

Religious questioning can be in part of how the world was created, what is life after death (is it reincarnation? Do we move onto another plane? Is it simply the void?), or prophets (Jesus, the son of god, persay...), as they connect with the earth in various ways. Religion, afterall, is a set of beliefs. Thereby, how much can the server's belief system be exposed to the player, and should I put a warning about the maturity of the content? Should I ignore it completely, as for this section is ignored by the rest because todays society isn't as religious as it was centuries ago?

You forgot Lufia.

Time travel? Heh... Time Travel is religion, to a certain extent.

refer to above statement

I'm interested in seeing how such a server would work along.

No, I won't have talking frogs and time travel.

I've not played Chrono Trigger much, but from what I know about it (played it perhaps 7 years ago?), it was based on how the world was created, and destroyed, so on, so forth, lalala...

Had nothing to do with how the world was created...

Explain Time Travel then? =d Regardless, take other Squaresoft products then. (Didn't know much about Chrono Trigger. Too long I've played).

Don't be ridiculous. Every time you type a word, you're assuming that your audience will be able to understand it. Every time you press a key on your keyboard, you're assuming that it will have the desired result.

Assumptions are a vital part of living in an uncertain world, regardless of how often they're demonised by ignorant fools.

Evidently you don't know what the word means. You were the one that started this conversation, dude. You can't cry foul just because things didn't go your way.
