The result isn't determined by the gods. The trial by combat is just a human manufacture.

>>71494859
And what proof have you of that? Even if I accepted that the idea was formulated by humans, the gods will still pick the victor.

There is one god with seven aspects, represented by the faith of the seven.
There's also R'Hllor, the Many-Faced god, and the Old Gods.

Which god determined the result?

>>71495497
The only god is the R'hllor. The trial was in the eyes of the seven who do not exist.

There are no gods. There are greenseers which are simply men/children with powerful magic powers.

>>71494801
The Seven aren't real, it's just stupid Andal superstition.

Only the Red God and the Old Gods of the Forest are confirmed real.

>>71494985
why should they? theres no evidence the gods intervene except when they feel like it, and so far the red god is the only god shown to intervene at all

>>71494801
But he didn't poison Joffrey. Like, that's just a fact

>>71495497

What about the Drowned God?

>>71494801

The Seven quite obviously don't exist. There has never been even the slightest bit of evidence that they do.

Meanwhile followers of R'hllor are fucking swimming in hard evidence that their god is real, or at least that the power attributed to him is.

Why would anyone even follow any other religion? Doesn't actually make any sense.

Old Gods also have their share of physical evidence, but it comes more across like "just" magic without any higher beings pulling the strings.

The drowned god is a meme perpetuated by the ironborn who get brain damaged after being oxygen deprived.

Really ? You got butthurt when we told you that Tyrion didn't kill Joffrey to the point of making a fucking thread abut your stupid response to it ?

>>71498645
The drowned god has powers in the books, and it is believed among fans that the god is actually a thrall of The Great Other. Its not just a meme god like in the show.

>>71498597
Just because red priests practice pyromancy and shadow magic doesn't necessarily mean R'hllor exists.

>implying the gods are real
>implying they arent just using blood magic for literally everything
>implying azor ahai isnt just the story of discovery of blood sacrifice/magic to empower weapons
>implying targaryens didnt infuse blood magic in their genome to give them neato bullshit like purple eyes and mild heat resistance, starks wargs etc, trees n shit.

>>71494801
Because everyone knows it was bullshit anyways

Gods aren't real. They're tapping into magic which is reawakening.

>>71499075
>implying blood magic isn't just mutant superpowers from NUCLEAR WINTER

>>71499021

No, but things like the Azor Ahai prophecy seemingly coming true, visions in the fire and how miracles seem to be selectively granted according to some bigger plan make a good case for a higher power being behind it.

Could go both ways though.

>>71498959
The books aren't canon

kys

>>71494801
Who acts like he's innocent?

>>71494801
here then the gods also determined that he would escape because he is truly innocent, that him being found guilty pushed him toward the journey he needed to be on even if he was innocent

Now eat shit and die while using your own internal logic to troll
