You seem to be bothered that Seren will no longer represent your views and ideals, so if that's the case here's my reply:
Many players have joined a God Faction due to the Ideals that these Gods represent and they want their Ideals to be recognisable by the Faction they have joined. But this was before the Gods returned and had proper character development and now that they have, the more stubborn followers refuse to admit their God's faults because they have invested so much time in them or out of a sense of loyalty.
If you are staying with a Faction out of loyalty, carry on if you wish. You're loyalty is admirable and a good quality, but I would advise against blind loyalty or devotion as you may come to regret it later.
If you are staying with a Faction because of it's Ideal, hear me out. As an individual, you are free to follow your own choices, Ideals and beliefs without a God or a Faction... so why don't you?
Gods are usually given credit for mortal achievements, inspirations or ideas. And some people even give the credit of their own hard work to them as well.
You created a Masterpiece musical? A gift from God.
You worked all day in the field? Couldn't have done it without God's help.
You have an working idea to invent a ground-breaking technology then actually make it? It was a vision from God, hence it's that God's idea.
You got prefect grades? Built a 20,000 card pyramid with no glue...?
...You get the idea. The point is, you do NOT need a God to follow what you truly believe in.
All the above is achievable (except maybe the card pyramid), so do something instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you. If you want the world to be of one of Peace and Justice, then strive to bring it about instead of hoping someone else will drop out of the sky and do it for you.
What is the point of anything if you don't do it yourself? There is no meaning if someone does everything for you: No achievement, no self improvement... Nothing.
I'm Godless although I consider myself Independent/Unaligned I "We create ourselves through life. Every victory, every failure and every lesson learned from them... Make us who we are. Once we have lived life to it's end, that is when we realise who we are... or more accurately, who we were."
