23. being impaled on a burning Wooden Stake for 30 years is the only punishment great enough for being a Tree hugger.

24 Traditional marriages requires a duel to first blood between the spouses. And lots of alcohol.

25. Coming of age for a follower of this religion is hauling a rock to the stockpile.

Another possible contradiction here:

12. All elves, except those who somehow proved themselves worthy, are banned.
22.Elves that have proven themselves worthy are exempt from beard requirements and are considered to have strong spirt and soul for they have broken the chains of there(sic) tree hugging society
These two quotes combine to make a not-so-obvious statement: Elves are Treehuggers + All Elves are banned = All Treehuggers are banned.

Priests are actually expected to ignore that trick requirement and drink until their livers explode, freeing them from ever being able to drink too much alcohol.  The ones that are able to resist the temptation of alcohol are quickly excommunicated for elfish behavior
The above statement combines with this one like this: All Treehuggers are banned + Elfish (Treehuggerish) priests are excommunicated = All Treehugger priests are excommunicated and banned

23. being impaled on a burning Wooden Stake for 30 years is the only punishment great enough for being a Tree hugger.
However, this statement clearly contradicts what was said before. The conclusion is this:

All Treehugger priests are excommunicated and banned
clearly contradicts
Treehuggers are only impaled by a burning Wooden Stake

 However, in the case that I overlooked something, I won't declare this religion wipe yet. If no one can think of anything to prove me wrong within, let's say, 2 days, you all will get to start all over again. Don't think of it as a obstacle - think of it as a clean start!

Your first assertion is incorrect.  The first quote clearly says that not all elves are banned.  So only some treehuggers are banned.

Although both of these are true (since you say so), those elves are an exception, and the argument uses "elf" in the general sense to mean the non-exempt, tree-hugging elves. I'm not the only one who does that, either. Nunzillor called such behavior "elfish" behavior in his statement above. Should I correct it to "treehuggerish" behavior?

I see what you mean, it doesn't make much of a difference.  However, could one argue that, while conceptually the only punishment great enough for a treehugger is to be impaled on a burning wooden stake for 30 years, in practice the church acts much differently?

Kind of like "you cannot suffer a witch to live," but the church doesn't actively kill witches (anymore).

Lastly, you could say that the excommunication and banning process involves being put through a burning stake for 30 years, so excommunication or banning both = stake burning.  They are all analogous.

Well, you make some pretty good points there, or so it seems, so I'll drop the accusation of contradiction.

Also, a lot of facts have centered on how the "mortal" aspect of the religion works, barely explaining what the religion even is of, and what the believers believe.


   Oh, and you guys are still off on the numbers. I'm on the iPad, so I don't have access to the numbered notes I made, and therefore can't tell you what the next number should be, but I know you guys are off by 3-4 numbers by now. Just carry on normally until I can pinpoint the exact number.

29. The hierarchy of racial worth goes like this: Dwarves > Gnomes > Humans > Goblins > Animal men > Other sentient creatures > Non-sentient creatures > Demons > Unworthy elves. Worthy elves go in the other sentient creatures slot.
