Wouldnt the Lord of Light represented by the priestesse Melissandre in Game of Thrones be the actual real god and true religion since she proved His power was real and palpable? (sopuli.xyz)

Sorry, how is that a "crapshoot"? I'm not a native speaker so maybe I'm missing some nuance here?

[–] buttmasterflex@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Crapshoot is referencing the dice game of craps, as in, "it's a roll of the dice", so the outcome is left to chance. There's nothing to say the Lord of Light is actually the one responsible for her powers, or that said powers even come from a deity, hence, an outcome of chance.

Thank you, so I didn't misunderstand that part, at least. Now I'm wondering why OP seems to disapprove of this.

I don't know. I stopped reading the books partway through Book 4 and stopped watching the show after Season 3ish(?). I just got bored with the premise of the whole story boiling down to political intrigue without a satisfying progression of the characters and plolines I personally enjoyed. I didn't want to slog through hours and hours of reading to only get a sprinkling of the action I craved on top of the chapters of scheming and plotting. It just got stale for me.
