User blog comment:Enda Kenny/The Civil Flame War : My Response/@comment-17114085-20130919162931

I have to say i kind of agree with Zippertrain, it seems a little biased(in my opinion). But other than that i agree a few things i need to clear up though:

Ulfric isn't power hungry or racist(see my blog or Zipper's for proof), Is he oppurtunistic, maybe; is he xenophobic, maybe(though if you prove your worth to him he trusts you, ex: Altmer living in Windhelm).

The Empire started the Civil War, remember something called the Markarth Incident, Ulfric's millitia liberated the Reach. The Legion then came and attacked the Millitia and imprisoned them(at the request of the Thalmor, as Ulfric had been promised free Talos worship by Igmund). So Imperials attacked first end of story.

I've seen lots of debate about Talos but one thing cannot be denied he is a god, God of Mankind infact. Humans worship him because he proves that a man can achive great things if he is determined.

On the whole religion is a stupid reason for fighting, first we don't undestand this because we are from the modern era, where religions isn't a big deal. If we had been born in the Medieval era then we would think religion is a huge deal, remember the Crusades(the Civil War is basically a crusade). In the Elder Scrolls universe Gods EXIST(no doubt about it, so people take gods super serious there).
