>Nothing is True
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Everything is Permitted
>Galatians 5:13, 17-18
>>1422010
Would you classify the first statement as true?
>>1422027
Nothing is True is supposed to contradict itself into getting you to test everything, even the statement itself, do be discerning of truth.
Taking it as a renouncing of objective truth is retarded and completely missing the point
>>1422027
Obviously not. Nothing is true, therefore, everything is permitted.
>>1422010
neither of those verses say that.
>>1422520
If you actually play the games, specifically 4, it's made clear that's how they're meant to see it.
>For if nothing is true, then why believe anything? And if everything is permitted... why not chase every desire?
>[The Maxim of the Creed] only a first step to understanding, and not its final form"

Thessalonians 5:21
>but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.
Test the content of everything that is presented to you and hold on to the good.
It says test what is true, not "nothing is true"
>13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
We are all free to choose the Spirit or the flesh
>17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[c] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Everything "is" permitted by the law of free will, but the law that is under the direction of the Holy Spirit will bind you to the forces of worldliness, which is no true freedom.

>It says test what is true, not "nothing is true"
That's kinda what they imply in AC. Test for truth, don't assume it.
>but the law that is under the direction of the Holy Spirit will bind you to the forces of worldlines
>Holy Spirit
>worldliness
I don't think you understand the Christian ethos very well then. Worldliness is frowned upon in Christianty.
>>1423295
when they say "nothing is true", it's implied, as the assassin becomes wiser and understands more, that because nothing is true, you must test everything you come across to see if it is what it seems
>>1422049
But if nothing is true how can the second statement be taken for real
Hasn't this quote been falsely attributed to Dostoevsky long before ass creed?

Oh, it's some videogame bullshit. The Biblical citations are just window-dressing.
>>1425414
No, it's just a thing I found neat that as the game intends for it to be interpreted, the New Testament shares the same ideas.
>>1422010
I thought it was supposed to be interpreted as a way of censoring their own exploits so that people would hear of the assassins as these supernatural killer they couldn't possibly believe did these things. Additionally because of the real world source material of the Hashashins being just allegedly drugged up jihadis, they were told anything was allowed so they could find justification in murder.
I think people try to make that phrase up to be more than it really is
>>1425435
>I think people try to make that phrase up to be more than it really is
Well duh. I'm going with how the game wants it interpreted (see Black Flag specifically), not what the Hashashin thought of it.
>>1425455
It's natural the ideology of it would change over the course of the games.
The original one had Altiar willing and knowingly kill people in broad daylight knowing it would cause a scene.
Ezio was more into stabbing people and slipping off before anyone saw the body drop.
The French guy objects to suicidal Altiar style hit and runs when his mentor type suggests it
Video game manchildren fuck off and take your baby toys with you.

That's more "modus operandi" than it is ideology.
