Add a Priest/Bishop Playermodel for Priest Characters

[JohnnyBravo]

Description of the idea: Playermodels used by Priests(Fathers), the robes and colours match the aesthetic of it, and it comes with all male_01-10 models.

Why should this be added?: Religious RP is a double edged sword, but for the one side where it's good, I have a character, Helmut Muntz, who is the Bishop of Württemberg and a Priest, head of the Church of St. Boniface.

Since then my only model for use is a male_10 suit with a winter coat, all black with a grey-white tie to look like a collar of which traditional priests wear, which doesn't really fit the "Church Aesthetic" or legitimacy of sorts.

The use of these models would be easier to differentiate between citizens and Priests and those who practice faith.

What negatives could this have?: That one is the other part of the sword in which this could go south FAST. You see Verlax(who is Luka Sommer) sent me a message explaining why in practice Religion RP is like, mega cancer and will literally ruin the fun.

 

A copy-paste he has here is long:

1) It always ends up becoming sacrilegious and offensive to other faiths.

2) Religious RP hinders Political RP. The Party serves as that fanatic political ideology. If you add religion, both can't co-exist on the server and disputes with the Church will remove RP with the Party, because the Church is not supposed to be having drama, they are meant to glorify Christ. It starts to tie into point 1 because they become heretical by abusing the name of Christ for dumb RP.

3) Other players will attempt to play their characters as other religions (i.e. Muslim, Jewish, Hindu) and they always try to make it their whole identity. You can't "ban" other religions in RP, and it starts to blur the lines in Gmod (next point will explain)

4) Garry's Mod rules are strict about discrimination, so anyone can come up with a clip and say "These guys are bigoted and actively ban my religion." It becomes another headache that's not needed because of RP. That's also why there's no Slave RP (i.e. prisoners are forced into labor in the mines on the server). Just a lot of red tape and not needed because the whole point of the server is political RP.

5) In the past when Garry's Mod permitted historical 1942 RP, and when Prometheus popped off after the death of Typhon, the Ministry of Church Affairs was the most useless ministry and their message of Positive Christianity (the pseudo-religion where Hitler removed all references of Christ being Jewish) was often blurred with Catholism (which wasn't even accurate). What each Church Minister did was give away useless baptism medals and pipped up about rooting out Jews and other religions. When Whoreson started Promethues, he strived to transition the 1942 community away from it's checkered past, and he succeeded in his vision, which started by banning that ministry, even before the great transition.

Religous RP was cringe, dumb, and overall any church ministry took away manpower and time from more relevant RP.

Basically his concern TLDR was that 

People would use Religion RP to use their religion as a justification to be a genuine dumbass, and that any action taken against it would be discrimination cause...it's Religion.

And I can't disagree with Verlax on that, I really can't. But this isn't something for like, an exclusive 1 thing for 1 character. Because the Archbishop, who oversees church properties and all that stuff can just make up certain laws and ideas to weed out any dumbasses.

And I went to many people about this, however the best advice I was possibly given was by Riuzake who said that the best option would be

Being a tool of the state, and with that, the fear of Religious RP going to insanity will lower.

Again, Religious RP is a double edged sword.

People like roleplaying to spread the word of God, it just gets to a point where someone can abuse that to be a complete dumbass, believe me as someone whose gone to Church with my father,(who was a former jesuit) Catholic pre-school and now Catholic School, there will be bound to see people mocking other religions, or making it their whole personality. But, if you're still that hesitant, at least take the advise that my Father gave me a verse.

 

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
    but fools despise wisdom and instruction."

Proverbs 1:7

I believe this player has shown in practice, a nice way of making religious RP, in a serious, respectful matter.

[Major Whoreson]

I do not care about other faiths. Most of the time it is just sacrilegious towards Christianity, which I care far more about.

It just does not serve a purpose in the gameplay, it's just best to stay away from it for the most part. I don't mind people doing stuff here and there with it, but I have zero intention of ever focusing on it for the server.
