Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Atheism is more like: "These super powerful entities call themselves 'gods'. But they're really just that: Super powerful a...holes. Nothing metaphysical or divine here, and most certainly no moral authority."
