0:00why did humanity join hell if they knew god was real in trench crusade
0:04well this is one of the most fascinating questions in the setting
0:07because the answer isn't actually that crazy when you think about it
0:11god is confirmed to be real and that heaven exists
0:15plus the gate of hell has been burning in the Levant for 800 years
0:19so there's zero philosophical debate about whether a higher power
0:23exists in this world and a full third of humanity joined hell anyway
0:27but here's the thing
0:29the heretics don't see themselves as choosing evil
0:32they call god the god tyrant Yahweh
0:35and frame the whole war as a rebellion against divine oppression
0:39to them god created humanity as subjects rather than equals
0:43demanding total obedience while offering eight centuries of plague
0:47devastation and cities being wiped from existence
0:50as the reward for staying faithful
0:52and what has god done directly in return
0:55the lore is frustratingly vague on that front
0:58meanwhile hell is offering something concrete
1:01its power status
1:03and the promise that strength belongs to those willing to take it
1:06their motto says everything blessed are the mighty minded
1:10for they shall ride the world winds
1:12so when God is real but silent
1:15and the enemy is loud and actively winning
1:17some people will choose the side that at least shows up
1:21do you think this makes sense
1:22or should there have been a better explanation
