If real life religions existed in wow...

King Varian Wrynn is a catholic, most definitely.

Which religion is that?

Please no one flame me for this...but isn't that Islam? I read it online (I know I know, don't always trust the internet!) but it sounded like it was true, because wasn't Islam spread by the sword? I really hope it ISN'T true, but Islam extremists honestly scare me.

Yup! I know a few. However they seem to have a tendency to ignore things like carbon dating, ice core sample data, and oceanographic fossils if it happens to contradict whatever holy book they like to read.

I was replying with almost the same thing (:

The answer to "how" is usually the answer to "why" aswell.

And here's a thought, the vatikan, the pope or the whole bloody christianity organisation were saying that the earth were flat, later when disproven they said the sun orbited alround the earth... as history progress they've allways been wrong, how can we trust they are right about this Jebus and the holy trinity and whatnot... I mean such a fundamental flaw in their theory should punch a big hole in their whole organisation, but religions is like cork on a fishing rod, no matter how far they go down... they allways float back up again.

I know! Kind of reminds you of the real world, huh? Another thing you could ask yourself is who/what created the naaru, titans, elune, etc.

yeah! if we find the answer to "who created azeroth," the next question is, who created that thing!

which is a lot like real life.

How many truly proven things exist in the scientific community? Much less than the innumerable theories upon theories that, while excellent explanations, have no real proof. What proof that is presented is often turned on it's ear by another discovery a short period of time later.

Science doesn't deal in "proof". it deals in evidence. And anything accepted as a scientific fact has overwhelming supporting evidence. If you want "proof" stick with mathematics.

islam extremists really go against a lot of what their holy text tells them. i'm almost positive it says don't kill at all.

every extremists of some sort is scary...so no need to be flamed at
I think that of all extremists, rednecks scare me the most followed by extremist muslims...and this by a progressive modernist muslim.

BTW: Believing in science or mathematics as being absolute and being facts is a faith too. Mathematics rely on what we call axioms and Science never produces facts but only theories.

There are several definitions of the word 'theory', a theory can in fact be a fact and proven, you're just running on a single definition of the word and branding all uses of it as the same.
One would only consider 'proof' and 'fact' a faith if they do not believe the reality in which they exist is a reality or existent at all.
