A T2K Encounter idea

[Raellus]

With the Hindu and Buddhist concept of a cyclical universe, I don't think that apocalyptical furor would be quite the issue it is with the monotheistic religions. Of course, I'm no expert in the subject and anything is possible, especially in times of great stress and strain.

I was thinking about this today and I reckon a lot of people would be a trifle nuts at least in a post-apocalyptic world.

An idea I am working on for an NPC is that he's quite cheerful as he thinks that he is already dead and in Purgatory. When he gets killed he will go straight to Heaven! He won't deliberately try to get killed as that would be contrary to God's plan.

ya don't need the end of the world for schism. Matter off fact you could use competing spiritual leaders for plenty of religious (or non for that matter).....it's been a while since the last anti-pop for instance.

However if ya really want to use end times fervor and hindu/buddhist/toist ect ect. The easiest thing is to have the rise of a new sect, some sort of fusion with other religious traditions or just a radical reinterpretation.
