Doing so would supposedly get the God they worshipped to talk to me.  While I&#8217;m not a religious person by any means, this sounded like a good idea.  My character was a pretty nice guy and I figured it would be something he would do &#8212; a righteous cause, or so it seemed.  After donating several thousand gold pieces, the acolyte in the temple informed me that my slight donation would be rewarded accordingly.  So I waited.  Nothing happened.  WTF?  No chatting with the big man?  No cool glowing axes or other forms of awesome loot?  I became upset because my money had simply disappeared and these goons thought I hadn&#8217;t bled enough for their damn church.  Art imitates life I guess.  I figured several <i>thousand<\/i> would be a decent donation, especially since it was almost all the gold I had on me.  Apparently this one room church was in need of an expansion or these saps donated all their money away too.  Using my remaining gold I found the nearest barber and got a mohawk.  Then I found a tattoo artist and he tattooed a demon on my face.  I returned to the temple and slaughtered the two budding Benny Hinns mercilessly.  Of course, both of their last yelps were something like, &#8220;God will punish you for this act!!!&#8221;  That&#8217;s really funny considering God was just about as active when the bastard took my damn money as he was when his own followers were murdered.   Where&#8217;s your God now?  I&#8217;ve made it my goal in the game to annihilate any and all religious people.  When I am through the remaining sinners will be paying me tribute.  And jerks.<\/p>\n<p>Poor and lonely, I came across some villagers trying to remove a fairly large sword from the ground.  These puny villagers laughed at me after I couldn&#8217;t remove the sword.  After having a grand old time at my expense, they sent their best (please) man to try and best me at sword-pulling.  This guy tried for about 15 seconds and then I cut him down where he stood.  I then cut down all of his asshole friends who quickly stopped laughing at me.  Bastards. <\/p>\n<p>I have been frustrated at games before, but rarely am I frustrated with fictional characters <i>in<\/i> the games.  I could have bought some really cool stuff with all that money, but no, the damn church took it from me and I had to resort to attempting to pull a sword from the ground.  That didn&#8217;t turn out so well either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I was playing Fable the other day and this guy suggested I donate money to the church.
