I have this theory that quarian geneology is in pretty good shape. They probably keep track pretty carefully, given the tiny (relatively) gene pool.Lividity Jones wrote...
An "inkling" is hardly conclusive.
What rituals do they have? What's involved in said rituals? Do they only revere their own ancestors? Do they even have sufficient records from after the Morning War to even track geneologies?

Agreed. Just made her less romance material for me personally. I mean I've heard people make the same argument...and I just roll my eyes.Phil725 wrote...

Just a note, even if she is religious, it likely wouldn't be that similar to anything that we see in people like Ashley, nor would it be anything that comparable to Earth religions. The quarians saying a prayer before the hearing acknowledging their ancestors could be a form of their religion.
I thought it was one of the more interesting character traits given to Ashley, regardless of my thoughts on the subject.
It was one of the reasons why I thought she was more friendship material than Kaidan.Her story of her sister punching her boyfriend wasn't doing anything to make her more interesting one way or the other.

Obviously, if the thread is constantly going off-topic it means there's nothing more to discuss about the topic.
It's been happening since the beginning of 2.0. You guys just repeat the same things over, and over, and over.

Tali: Them fingers. All five... slender, yet strong. Them legs.... so straight, with that slight bend beneath the knee.... That waist.... much stronger than any quarian....
Kasumi:
Tali: Dat.... everything....

From the perspective we are discussing it? The codex entry was more of comment on topic than anything else specifically. Religions don't necessarily need rituals.Lividity Jones wrote...

So they lack sufficient data to even track geneologies, making the practice even less legitimate.
Without knowing what rituals are involved, we can't comment if Tali is religious.
If there are no rituals involved, then it can hardly be called a religion from the perspective we are discussing it. Thane's or Ashley's, for example.

Agree. Ashley went so far as to ask what Shepard though. It doesn't seem to be that big a part of Tali's character that she'd need to know what Shep thought about it.Phil725 wrote...
Which is why I said "could," quarian practices in general also don't mean much for the individual, since we can assume that they aren't a theocratic people. Just saying that paying homage to ancestors and honoring them could be their religion, and we wouldn't really equate that with Ashley as religious.

And I suppose you have some brilliant, earth-shattering solution to this complex paradox we are beset by?

There's a point at which religion and science become the same thing. There's the mechanical operation of the universe - this is science - then there is the significance sentient beings attach to it - this is spirituality and conscious observation - . At the subatomic level, the two begin to appear more conjoined than had previously been anticipated. This only hints at the exciting possibilities of future research and discovery.

Yes. To draw our attention to it in a disapproving manner. That should do the trick.Lividity Jones wrote...

I was under the impression we were using the known religious crewmembers as a base.
My mistake.
A surprisingly optimistic take. I also believe in the regenerative power of discussion, particularly related to the creation of fan-works.RedTracer7 wrote...
Wrong. Always a new take. Always new art, new fiction.
Off-topicness is derived from a feeling of comfort with whom is in the room. You do not see new people coming in and posting off-topic stuff, unless they are trolls.
Off-topicness comes with a successful community, a self-sufficent fanbase. We can only work to minimize it.

Mostly, I was turned off by her "How can you look at the galaxy and not believe in something?" comment. Well, gee, thanks, Ashley.nitefyre410 wrote...

I know , thats one of the reason I like Ashley, she a person of faith and overly religious . Yes there is a huge difference. She has faith but is a not a bible thumping idiot.

Anyway I don't actually think we've discussed everything we can. I hardly think that this particular topic - Tali's religion or lackthereof, has been repeated as much as a lot of other topics.
