@Soul_Tomato it's a religion that doesn't exist at game start, but it's in mexico. The 5th sun was the Azteca. I intend to do a run as the mexica culture and have this religion (mexica get eagle warriors). maybe try and reform the culture to have that tenet that increases capture of knights but lowers battlefield fatalities (like flower wars).
@@Soul_Tomato nvm scratch that I just saw the religion needs to be unlocked via decision.Which now makes me more intrigued as to how I unlock this religion. Maybe you can find out something more?
Emperor Norton was genuinely really cool and beloved by a lot of folks. He was arrested by the police for involuntary treatment for his mental health and the locals and newspaper were absolutely furious and after he was released he "pardoned" the officers who arrested him and the police started to salute him from that day, he also supposedly directly confronted an anti-Chinese mob and told them their leadership was illegitimate.
This is a very small thing, but the ruling family of the County of Bend in Oregon is House Buster, a reference to the fact that the last operating Blockbuster Video store in the world is in Bend, Oregon. The family even has the unique motto "Be Kind, Rewind", which I thought was a cool touch.
I've been thinking there should be a culture/religion that venerates Route 66 and the old American car culture, chariot races would be awesome for that. They could have a unique heavy cavalry/chariot men-at-arms in fordite armor with heraldry based on license plates.
@@PraetorHesperus and many of the missinterpretation, where they think that car manufacturer were "Clan", like you expect Clan Chevrolet, Clan Ford, Clan Dodge and so on
I'm not sure if this is still the case in the CKIII version, but in the original ATE California had access to the Hawaiian Guard, kinda like the Varangians but from Hawaii. I'm fairly sure this is another reference to Emperor Norton, since during his reign he reached out to various heads of state (including proposing to Queen Victoria), and King Kamehameha V was the only one to officially recognize him as a head of state.
Two other ones I’ve noticed playing in the Great Plains is Texarkana is ruled by the Hannegans, which are from a Canticle for Leibowitz, and the Queen of Kansas at the start date is literally Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.
The Duchy of Green Bay is headed by house Packer, and Duke Brett. He's herculean, has high martial and prowess, but over 50, unmarried, and without an heir. Pretty clear reference to the end of the Brett Farve years in Green Bay.
I noticed that in the chronology of Californian rulers right underneath Emperor Norton is queen Califa of California. Califa was the ruler of a fictional New World kingdom in an Early-Modern Spanish adventure novel Las sergas de Esplandián, and it is widely believed that she is the namesake of California.
My wife is a huge swiftie and the reason house swift’s coat of arms looks like that is almost Definitely a reference to her album called “Red” hence the solid red field with no blazon. So if people go in and change it when they play the character they’d actually be removing part of the reference. (Though if you want to add more visual interest while still maintaining the Taylor swift theme, put a snake on the coat of arms as she is often associated with them. First by her enemies and then embraced by herself.)
I love the Omenteller logo, but I really wish that the faith actually referenced Mothman more. He is the icon of your religion, do something more than just having him be in charge of fate! Like High God or something.
There's two funny characters i can think of. The leader of Houston is Jesse Knowles, which i believe is a reference to Beyonce Knowles who is from Houston. The Caliphate of the Messiah in Southern Alberta has a number of courtiers who are named after the cats from the Muhammad Sumbul meme.
Since you're not planning on releasing more of those, allow me to throw some tidbits I've found so far: - There's Wawa dynasty in Philadelphia. For non-Philly folks: Wawa is a chain of convenience stores and gas stations that's really popular and instantly recognizable for anyone who lived there. Even their logo (flying Canadian goose) was recreated as the family Coat of Arms - Vonzapatista faith in Chiapas in Mexico: that's one of references to actual political and social movements - in this case the Zapatistas Army of National Liberation, a far-left militant resistance group that are de facto in control of the state of Chiapas. In the mod, they seemed to syncretize with native Mayan beliefs, incorporating the legend of divine twins and descent into the underworld, but they still retained parts of their communist origins (as shown by the Communal Possessions tenet) - Since you mentioned it several times already: the queen Beaton of the Maritimes is also a reference to the real life artist Kate Beaton, author of popular webcomic "Hark! A Vagrant" (give it a read, it's really good stuff). Beaton's dynasty CoA (a horse) is a reference to children's book "A Princess and a Horse" she wrote - Ashtar Sheran faith in Mojave is a double reference: to both real-life UFO religion focused on the eponymous alien Ashtar and his mission to warn and protect humanity, as well as spin-off from previous edition of the mod set during the Event, which also featured Sheran followers in the Mojave - There's a Curt Cobain reference around Seattle - one of the vassals under republic of Mount Olympus is a man called "Cobane", who also happened to start with a poet trait. Read into this as much as you want, but it seems pretty deliberate
There is actually: The United Arsenals of America or Arsenalists. A unique industrialist faith that reveres the presidency and does not appear in the game at start but can be converted to.
Ngl something I think would be wild is if Hawaii had a SpongeBob based reference (like it takes some inspiration from Hawaiian-Polynesian stuff plus SpongeBob is just if not more popular than Mickey)
Speaking of John Denver, you can find Peter Seeger, great American songwriter, as a duke in Allgeheny! Also, the unreformed faiths usually get something special for their reformed versions that arent just backglow. For example Real Roaders have a revolver cylinder in their faith symbol. If you reform the cylinder will be loaded with bullets.
To submit my two cents of interesting facts: This might be a bit obvious, but King Baltus of Hudsonia is in all likelihood a nod to Baltus van Tassel. BvT is a character in Washington Irving’s short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. That story was set in the land that Hudsonia covers at game start.
The symbol for the Anthropofagic is heavily based on a Tarsila do Amaral painting called Abapuru, which means “men who eats” in Guarani. It’s one of the most iconic Brazilian art pieces for sure. Brazil has a lot of interesting religions based on real life history and culture in the mod, it’s quite interesting.
With the fact that there's the Digital and the Industrialist Faiths,and that there's William Afton,they gotta add a faith based on the FNaF Saga in the Utah area!
maybe cheating because the entire mod is sort of inspired by it but the conclavians are based on a canticle for leibowitz, down to having New Rome in St. Louis. the count of texarkan is also of house hannegan, the emperors of texarkana in canticle. in the CK2 mod you could join the Order of St Leibowitz but CK3 doesn’t have joinable orders
These faiths are cool and all, but i feel like in practice they all kinda play the same. I mean wether you play on the east coast, the carribean or brazil there is barely anything to strive for. You can go for a east coast conquest to form the US, but it would be cool if there are smaller goals to strive for. Like conquering specific parts as a specific culture / faith will give you special men at arms / claims / new faith / cultural aspect / items. right now, its too sandboxy imho. just like the basegame. and the basegame is too easy. have child, mary child to somebody to get strong alliance, get claim in a year and just keep conquering. But map painting for the sake of mappainting is boring. the game should acknowledge if i manage to spread americanism for example to the entire east coast. or if you have all the indrustrialist holy sites, have the player get cool "motorcycle " chariot retinue. i feel like ck2 mods often had more of these choises.
I agree to an extent (I love decisions and goals) but CK3 is literally a sandbox map game and CK2 was the exact same way (worse for a while) but now has the benefit of being older and with 9 years of DLC behind it and its mods being much older too. CK3 will get there, I’m sure of it :)
@@Soul_Tomato in ck2, claims and titles were worth a lot more. even if you had a good chancelor, there was only 20% chance a year for him to fabricate a claims. and that was, if he wasnt discovered and brided by the guy who you wanted to fabricate a claim on. so you had to get creative. you killed your liege so that his son came to office. then you went to the pope and said:"look at that pope! a child as a ruler? that shouldnt be! it should be me, a good christian, who rules these lands in the name of god! give me a claim, because you like me!" and then he gave you a claim. or if you were a non pious dude, there were other ways. mary the daughter, kill the sons . etc etc. Provinces locations were also important. counties had barionies. some counties could get more baronnies. some counties were on trade routes. so the main objective was getting a county with a lot of barronies on a trade route so that you could get a lot of money. then, build as many castles as you can in that barony, since they counted for the counceler jobs, meaning the marshal will increase the levy of 20% or something like that for all your barronies. And your personality as a ruler mattered more. there were straight up things you couldnt do or could do if you had certain personality traits. and best thing is, your character was fluid. you could nudge him/her along pretty well based on lifestyle ( forgot whats it called ), and sometimes stuff just happened that would also be great roleplay wise. in ck3, you get 1 point in stewardship focus to get the claim liege title thingy ( which i think is STUPIDLY OP ) if you are a vassal, and then you just kinda pick the tree your character is good at and then leave it at that. I've played about 1000 hours with ck2 back in the days, and now i've played around 300 hours of ck3. but it gets boring so quickly. because its too easy. you can just go anywhere, claim anything, conquer anything. Literally, you can be the count of paris, to then claim rome, or byzantium. doesnt matter, you can get a claim. it will only now take 2 years instead of 1. its not that hard to become emperor in 1 generation, no matter where you are. Meanwhile, a lot of the side stuff is simply not worth it. most of the court stuff is either a choise between +20 relations and -20 relations between 2 guys you dont give a shit about. or you have to spend a year worth of income because of something stupid. but my point wasnt about ck2 vs ck3. its about ck2 vs ck3 mods. look at the old ck2 game of thrones mod for example. you could go to valeria and have a chance to get a valerian sword and dragon eggs. THAT STUFF IS COOL. gameplay options to get ingame rewards! if i conquer washington for example, let me find cool stuff below it! give me the old declaration of indepencence, or let it have other consequences! but right now, after the end is 200 different flavors of the same. "cool, ive conquered the entirety of texas. now what?" thats how i feel with this mod, and most other ck3 mods! whats roleplay without the flavor? right now its conquering, or spending 400 gold to go on a small tour to get 200 piety and the traveler perk. where is the fun in that?!? let me summon cuthulu in new england, declare a pirate empire as jack sparrow, murder somebody using voodoo, eat radioactive material to glow green and die, stuff like that! off course, not that wacky. my point is, its all well and good to have a bunch of faiths and cultures, but man would it be great if all those faith have something unique to do and strive for.
I wish AtE mentioned American cryptids more. Outside of something like Mothman, there are hundreds of various monsters that are great. I want my peasants to fear the Sliderock Bolter ffs Also I know it’s a bit of a given but the Cosmic Warriors in the Luchadors are all very real people. It isn’t even icon worship since there were all community leaders at some point or another.
I was really dispointed when I found out that the omentellers where vernacular and not occultists. I feel like their should be a occultist religion in the pacific northwest that's all about cryptozoology with cryptid hunts as a new unique hunt type like the saurians fossil digs.
Would love too see you do a Kennedy Video where they take over New England and also adopt the Imaginerian faith (because come on Jack's face is literally the logo😡)
Also there is a sub mod of Australia being made by u/GarfieldHub with things like people believing in an idolized human paradise called the Commonwealth, to some guys in Tasmania believing in fairies and thylacines. There are many realms, from The Riverine Empire, facing down the forces of a Bushranger (it’s own religion) rebellion and disloyal Vasals, to the successors Queens of the Empire of Alexandria, to the united Madayin of the Yolngu, to the Red Horde of the Pilbara, Australia is shaping up to filled with interesting conflicts and personalities.
Another interesting character (or group of characters) are the Revelationionists and Behemists. The most notable revelationist is the ruler of Tennessee, whose COA is the lamb with 7 eyes and 7 horns that was slain.
You should cover the sub mod - After the End - Submod: Sci-Fi Religions. It’s really cool and I would love and overview of the mod, it’s supposed to have an update next Saturday so maybe wait till after to cover it
I’ve heard of it. Seems a bit too pop culture-y for me. It doesn’t really integrate its ideas very well. It’s just a 1 for 1 copy of game stuff. I like it in theory but not execution.
@@samevra8712 probably just use them as references, like the mod does, and not just 1:1 iterations of the things themselves. Like the brotherhood could be a cool industrial sub faith -- although that's kinda of what the galvanists already are.
@@Soul_Tomato This is what this faith was in CK2 - they were called the Rust Cultist and were basically a fusion of Fallout Brotherhood of Steel and Warhammer 40000 Mechanicus, until they got their own, clearer identity
not sure if anyone will see this, but batman exists One of the courtiers in the district of new york is Thomas and Martha Wayne who has an eight year old son, Bruce Wayne (aka Batman). This makes sense because they call the kindom Gotham sooooo.
So, the innovationist industrialist faith has Promotory Summit as one of their holy sites. This is the point where the continental railroad met and was completed.
No reference to "Mjolnir" for the Vikings in Minnesota actually being the Vince Lombardy Trophy (Super Bowl)? Haven't had a chance to play the mod, yet, but I know it was a thing in the CK2 version of the mod.
Love the vid Soul! Always good to get some more play through inspiration for AtE. Also hearing the final fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger soundtracks brought a single tear to my eye! Might have to give ck3 a break and play ff6 again! Looking forward to the next one :)
@@VixenRosa I mean, he could explain that they take the modernist epic Macunaima as a creation myth of Brazil and that they seek to rediscover Brazil's secret knowledge not in the academic works (like Saudosists) but in the popular folklore, with adherents obligated to travel across Brazil to experience all of it firsthand like Mario de Andrade once did. Explaining Macunaima itself would be way harder, of course, but TBH explaining Sagarana would be even trickier since it's not even a single story, or explaining Alternative's crazy syncretism. Maybe just saying that Macunaima is an anti-hero meant to represent Brazil itself, with his indigenous past/future, mutable racial traits, total lack of morals and impossible endurance (also, he's defeated by a cannibal giant at the middle of the story, but his brother ressurects him by cooking him inside a tamale)
After buying the totally underwhelming DLC 'Legends of the Dead' I don't expect any improvements in CK3, the game has stalled out. The cost of running your own legend is so high, you can't even contemplate starting one for the first few hundred years of the game. Then when you cant even tell what bonuses apply to who and what, and the bonuses are so small in the first place, Paradox got this DLC really messed up. But they kept the most ridiculous 'event' ever, the one where you do the so out of context juvenile 'now repeat slowly ...' at a feast. Just simply not enough good events in the game.
In my hometown area in california's central valley 2 counties have a religion thats basically the United Farm Workers and Catholics mixed into La Hermanidad de Braceros its a very intresting religion where its hard to convert and benefits from giving commoners land but it usually gets wiped out\ converted in a generation or 2. Currently doing a playthrough of it and overthrew the king of the valley hopefully I can do somethimg intresting to the emperor lol
is Bruce Wayne mentioned yet? anyway, there are Javanese-influenced culture and faith in Suriname. Sranan-Tongo and Kebatinan respectively, following the fact that there were Javanese descendants in Suriname as their ancestor were brought there by the Dutch to work the plantations.
The Andean Inca legend and faith is kind of sad to me in a way. Can you imagine, over a thousand years prior, your people were almost driven to extinction by Hispanic invaders, only for a cataclysmic event to bring your ancestors to grow your population, but now you, who have no knowledge of how long corpses stay human looking, truly believe that you will one day find the last ruler from over a thousand years ago before the Spaniards' attack, and that you can simply reassemble him and his spirit will inhabit and enlighten the body to godhood and he will lead you to glory? That sounds devastating to me, even as a simple white American girl.
@@Soul_Tomato Okay, best of luck! Maybe try some dry-runs before you get it just right, this is a bit hard to listen to and makes an otherwise great video a bit subpar. Keep up the cool lore videos! You got me to finally try out AtE because of them! (As someone who's not from America I had nothing to latch onto really)
@@Soul_Tomato I mean when I suggested doing a Colorado run and if there wasn't any interesting starts to make John Denver I really didn't expect him to already be there.

"cool, ive conquered the entirety of texas. now what?" thats how i feel with this mod, and most other ck3 mods! whats roleplay without the flavor? right now its conquering, or spending 400 gold to go on a small tour to get 200 piety and the traveler perk. where is the fun in that?!? let me summon cuthulu in new england, declare a pirate empire as jack sparrow, murder somebody using voodoo, eat radioactive material to glow green and die, stuff like that! off course, not that wacky. my point is, its all well and good to have a bunch of faiths and cultures, but man would it be great if all those faith have something unique to do and strive for.
@@MrXandervmBut CK 3 has baronies?
I wish AtE mentioned American cryptids more. Outside of something like Mothman, there are hundreds of various monsters that are great. I want my peasants to fear the Sliderock Bolter ffs
Also I know it’s a bit of a given but the Cosmic Warriors in the Luchadors are all very real people. It isn’t even icon worship since there were all community leaders at some point or another.
I would love to see more cryptid stuff I agree.
I was really dispointed when I found out that the omentellers where vernacular and not occultists. I feel like their should be a occultist religion in the pacific northwest that's all about cryptozoology with cryptid hunts as a new unique hunt type like the saurians fossil digs.
@@Oooze3424 that would be awesome tbh
There should be a unique legendary hunt you can stumble upon in New Kersey for the Jersey Devil, or maybe an event chain could be made for it
Damn, now I want to play as Goku
I heard you were strong
Would love too see you do a Kennedy Video where they take over New England and also adopt the Imaginerian faith (because come on Jack's face is literally the logo😡)
That’s a good point haha
Diego Maradona has his own religion and house in mode.
Sick
Where?
In Bueno Aires
Not bearing the same coat of arms doesn't mean a house is not related. They could be a cadet house.
Normally id agree but this fact was given by a dev
Also there is a sub mod of Australia being made by u/GarfieldHub with things like people believing in an idolized human paradise called the Commonwealth, to some guys in Tasmania believing in fairies and thylacines. There are many realms, from The Riverine Empire, facing down the forces of a Bushranger (it’s own religion) rebellion and disloyal Vasals, to the successors Queens of the Empire of Alexandria, to the united Madayin of the Yolngu, to the Red Horde of the Pilbara, Australia is shaping up to filled with interesting conflicts and personalities.
That one has me very interested
12:00 Because thats reference to her album and song, named ,,Red" (Also great video as always)
Hmmm very well
7:05 he also fixed the economy lol
I didn't expect to see a religion from my country, but Long Live Inkarri (I actually last played Chimborazismo)
It’s fascinating
I love the names for the timestamps, shit had me laughing, "country roaadddsssee"
Glad you like em :)
Another interesting character (or group of characters) are the Revelationionists and Behemists. The most notable revelationist is the ruler of Tennessee, whose COA is the lamb with 7 eyes and 7 horns that was slain.
Thank you for making another one of these! Amazing work as always :)
You should cover the sub mod - After the End - Submod: Sci-Fi Religions. It’s really cool and I would love and overview of the mod, it’s supposed to have an update next Saturday so maybe wait till after to cover it
I’ve heard of it. Seems a bit too pop culture-y for me. It doesn’t really integrate its ideas very well. It’s just a 1 for 1 copy of game stuff. I like it in theory but not execution.
@@Soul_Tomato how would you change up the execution?
@@samevra8712 probably just use them as references, like the mod does, and not just 1:1 iterations of the things themselves. Like the brotherhood could be a cool industrial sub faith -- although that's kinda of what the galvanists already are.
@@Soul_Tomato This is what this faith was in CK2 - they were called the Rust Cultist and were basically a fusion of Fallout Brotherhood of Steel and Warhammer 40000 Mechanicus, until they got their own, clearer identity
@@vladprus4019 I've heard! I probably wouldn't have liked them then (as I've read that many didn't)
not sure if anyone will see this, but batman exists
One of the courtiers in the district of new york is Thomas and Martha Wayne who has an eight year old son, Bruce Wayne (aka Batman). This makes sense because they call the kindom Gotham sooooo.
So, the innovationist industrialist faith has Promotory Summit as one of their holy sites. This is the point where the continental railroad met and was completed.
I had no clue Cybersyn had a religion in this mod... Time to create Stafford Beer so he can finally complete the project he spent his life working on
Do it!
No reference to "Mjolnir" for the Vikings in Minnesota actually being the Vince Lombardy Trophy (Super Bowl)?
Haven't had a chance to play the mod, yet, but I know it was a thing in the CK2 version of the mod.
Love the vid Soul! Always good to get some more play through inspiration for AtE. Also hearing the final fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger soundtracks brought a single tear to my eye! Might have to give ck3 a break and play ff6 again! Looking forward to the next one :)
FF6 is my favorite and Chrono Trigger was one of the first games I ever beat :)
small nitpick but Allende is actually pronounced like "ah-YEN-day"
My bad :(
Brazil is an amazing area to play. The references to Brazilian culture are pretty cool.
It has loads of flavor
(=) D Cool And 1:02 What Comic?
No idea what comic actually. Should probably have found that out 😬
@@Soul_Tomatook
The Sandman by Neil Gaiman. (Volume 6: Fables and Reflections.
Gonna slap this in the description now
@@elfeo4342 Cool
would love a video going further into the modernist faiths of brazil!
We shall see :)
@@Soul_Tomato Macunaism would be the hardest to explain lmao
@@VixenRosa I mean, he could explain that they take the modernist epic Macunaima as a creation myth of Brazil and that they seek to rediscover Brazil's secret knowledge not in the academic works (like Saudosists) but in the popular folklore, with adherents obligated to travel across Brazil to experience all of it firsthand like Mario de Andrade once did.
Explaining Macunaima itself would be way harder, of course, but TBH explaining Sagarana would be even trickier since it's not even a single story, or explaining Alternative's crazy syncretism.
Maybe just saying that Macunaima is an anti-hero meant to represent Brazil itself, with his indigenous past/future, mutable racial traits, total lack of morals and impossible endurance (also, he's defeated by a cannibal giant at the middle of the story, but his brother ressurects him by cooking him inside a tamale)
I saw this drop and was so excited to watch after work!
I hope you dug it. Sorry about the sound quality. I got an new mic and it was a dud but it’s been fixed now
After buying the totally underwhelming DLC 'Legends of the Dead' I don't expect any improvements in CK3, the game has stalled out.
The cost of running your own legend is so high, you can't even contemplate starting one for the first few hundred years of the game.
Then when you cant even tell what bonuses apply to who and what, and the bonuses are so small in the first place, Paradox got this DLC really messed up.
But they kept the most ridiculous 'event' ever, the one where you do the so out of context juvenile 'now repeat slowly ...' at a feast. Just simply not enough good events in the game.
I’m assuming you meant to post this on the DLC video? And my opinion of legends is very low at this point as well.
There is a Christian religion in New England that is called the [something] cross.
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Ye, the Veiled Cross
@@alexaltair6076 are there any characters that start out with that?
@@carlose4314
There’s one female ruler that has it as a secret religion but I can’t remember who she is at the moment
In my hometown area in california's central valley 2 counties have a religion thats basically the United Farm Workers and Catholics mixed into La Hermanidad de Braceros its a very intresting religion where its hard to convert and benefits from giving commoners land but it usually gets wiped out\ converted in a generation or 2. Currently doing a playthrough of it and overthrew the king of the valley hopefully I can do somethimg intresting to the emperor lol
is Bruce Wayne mentioned yet?
anyway, there are Javanese-influenced culture and faith in Suriname. Sranan-Tongo and Kebatinan respectively, following the fact that there were Javanese descendants in Suriname as their ancestor were brought there by the Dutch to work the plantations.
The Andean Inca legend and faith is kind of sad to me in a way. Can you imagine, over a thousand years prior, your people were almost driven to extinction by Hispanic invaders, only for a cataclysmic event to bring your ancestors to grow your population, but now you, who have no knowledge of how long corpses stay human looking, truly believe that you will one day find the last ruler from over a thousand years ago before the Spaniards' attack, and that you can simply reassemble him and his spirit will inhabit and enlighten the body to godhood and he will lead you to glory? That sounds devastating to me, even as a simple white American girl.
I think it’s okay to feel sad. It IS sad. Humans have done horrible things to each other - and continue to.
But most of Peru is still heavy influenced by indigenous people? In fact, most of the interior still speak indegenous lenguages
What happened to the sound quality?
New mic. Been trying to figure it out. As you can see it’s been a bit of a struggle.
@@Soul_Tomato Okay, best of luck! Maybe try some dry-runs before you get it just right, this is a bit hard to listen to and makes an otherwise great video a bit subpar. Keep up the cool lore videos! You got me to finally try out AtE because of them! (As someone who's not from America I had nothing to latch onto really)
Apologies my friend. I will get it figured out (sooner or later)
I wonder if there is are any fallout new Vegas references (or fallout in general) in ATE
Caesar is along the California border
@@Soul_Tomato What is his name, culture and religion ?
@@silentgladiam2096 his names Edward Kaiser he’s Atomicist Arixan he’s Duke of Colorado near Mojave
Thanks for fun video, keep it up
Thanks!
I feel like there should be a faith about the rap/ hip hop scene , maybe two different faiths in West and East coast?
That would be sick actually
Hail Abner Hannegan of Texarkana !
Oh no lol
12:10 Nothing bad happens to the Kennedys, duh
True
Oh John Denver is in Denver neat
Exactly how I felt about it haha
@@Soul_Tomato I mean when I suggested doing a Colorado run and if there wasn't any interesting starts to make John Denver I really didn't expect him to already be there.
Make more of these videos!
Haha idk about that but I’m glad you liked it
Is there orthodoxy christianity in after the end.
By Mary’s love, yes! In South America and in Alaska/Russia.
@@Soul_Tomato thank you for telling me.
What is the religion of Paul Atreides ? I hope they didn't lose an opportunity to make something like zensunni or a muslim derivate
Gaian, a female preferred faith which also fits
Oh man hearing that instead of cool local flavor for my state it's a fuckin fnaf reference i felt my soul leave my body.
Nothin against you but yeah it's living up to the name Deseret with how lil is going on there. Even Nevada has more interesting flavor happening.
My apologies friend. I will store your soul in the great tomato with the rest.
It’s also a Jerma reference, so don’t worry.
Paul and Jessica should be Muslim
But they’re outsiders to the fremen, that’s kind of the whole point.
@@Soul_Tomato yeah, but we don’t know which versions of them ended up there and the Gaian faith from what I know is totally different the the benne gesserit faith
Mmm good point! Something to consider. Could be a fun RP to convert them
Loved this!!!
Thanks!
The Muslims around Baja Cali?
I'm an agnostic Unitarian Universalist, and I grew up with a *lot* more tolerant attitude than a lot of my evangelical neighbors on like...*everything.* It was *weird.*
My condolences

Fathomless are not christian they dont belive in jesus(it would be like calling jews or muslims christian)
I said what I said (I don’t actually care I just thought it was a funny suggestion)
I mean the Fathomless are about as Christian as the Church of Latter Day Saints.
I should have said abrahamic. Did not realize that would be the thing people honed in on haha
You mean the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?
@@mrXOwarrior I was gonna say I don't know much about Mormons but I'm pretty sure it's a christian denomination.
@@Soul_Tomato not you the poster I was replying to said they weren’t Christians. I was just reminding them of their name. You’re fine, great video. TY
Based Pinochet mention
Dude went commie on the cybersyn but.
I’ll go even more commie now
@@Soul_Tomato wow dude just outed himself instantly. way to kill your channel.
