You're arguing with pedantic rules lawyers, Odieman. They have no capacity for nuance or to comprehend that you might think of things differently than them, based on the same primary source information. If you continue, they'll just resort to finding ways to insult you personally.
Umm, let me get this straight. You, who are
actually, obviously personally insulting other forum members, are warning someone else that other people, who have to date done no such thing, might in the future do something awful like … personally insult them. Ohhhkay

.
In the event that your insult was directed at me, I can assure the OP they need have no fear that I will resort to personal attacks.
I am finding this discussion a bit frustrating, but only because it’s not clear what, if any, substantive point of disagreement remains about what the game should do. It feels as though we have agreed that paladins should be able to select a deity and have this reflected in-game, but that this should be optional given that 5e does not make it mandatory for paladins to have a god. We might not agree in how much we
like the elements of the 5e supporting lore that allow for some paladins to not have deities, but fortunately we don’t have to in order to agree on what character choices BG3 should permit.
