General_Durandal Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 ~ "I've never met a priest who could tell you anything about Heaven, but they knew every square inch of Hell. They should. They built it." ~ Makes sense in the setting of Warframe. Though, do priests even exist in the Warframe universe anymore? Does Harrow count? Why would Ticker talk about something, that might not exist in her plane of existence? ~ Well, if it is a jab at IRL religion, the reason Priests can't really tell you about Heaven, is because it is mostly unknown. In the Bible, it says, "Heaven is amongst the stars." The Astral-Plane, is where souls live. Astral means, "a starry field". Heaven, is the Universe as a whole. So, just as we barley know anything about the Universe as a whole, we've only seen a drop in the Ocean, we also barely know Heaven. Hell however, is Earth, every part of it, even the surface. The surface of Hell is called Limbo, which is where history repeats itself. The bottom of Heaven, is called Eden, and is also the surface of Earth. Any place where green plants grow, and where wild fruit trees grow, is Eden. ~ Remember, it is not Scientific to simply say, something doesn't exist. ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loza03 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 The Order of the Profit is a cult/religion, so yes, priests of some description do likely exist. Alongside a heaven/hell afterlife dichotomy, since a 'reward/punishment' dichotomy shows up a lot in religions, even those mostly separated from each other.

She's just saying that that divine punishment is an artificial construction of organized religion, while loosely referencing a specific archetype of a highly religious person that tends to hyper-focus on the negative aspects of religion as opposed to the positive aspects. And while its forms may change over time, religion/spirituality as a broad concept is almost innate to the human experience, so there's no reason to believe it wouldn't exist in the Warframe universe. And the fact that Ticker is talking about it makes the high-level concept canon to the universe (which is not to say that her view is accurate or inaccurate, but simply to say that these concepts exist in the universe). Also she's not talking about the Bible, so Bible verses aren't going to help you understand what she's saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3512 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Looking at other lines, it frames the context. My real line is debt forgiveness. Charity. You buy some poor rig jockey's debt and they sidestep brain-shelving. Every sinner's a winner. "Here's the kicker for Ticker: the Temple teaches charity? Mortal sin. Ticker gets caught helping a repo? That's me done, Stardust." "The Void sent you to us, I'm sure of it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(NSW)NehiJG Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I think he’s just saying that some religious people are so strict and obsessed with the rules that they end up being cruel to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly85 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 She speaks some solid truth there, and something I wholeheartedly agree on. I always laugh when I'm told I'm going to some make believe place by some berobed wonk with a book because the way I live my life doesn't stack up to how they *think* I should live it.
