	Mission from God	comment	Whether or not one believes in a god or gods, there is no denying that religion can be one heck of a powerful motivator. Sometimes a character or group of characters are (or come to believe that they are) chosen for a specific mission by their god. Sometimes they are called upon to help people in need (or maybe just bring members of a band back together), or to unite a divided country. But sometimes their mission takes on a more violent form, with the characters kicking ass or even killing for their god. Whether or not the mission is justified depends largely on the fruits of their work, but it's worth knowing that it takes a special kind of person in order to avoid becoming so caught up in one's religious fervor that they lose sight of what they are actually doing to the world and take things too far, becoming Well Intentioned Extremists, or at worst, Knights Templar. This is a case of Truth in Television, as people from all over the world have gone on Missions From God, both in real life and in fiction, changing the world both for the better and for the worse. Who was right and who was wrong concerning such missions is a subject of much controversy, and while good examples of such missions definitely exist, we are more familiar with misguided missions that take things too far, such as witch-hunts and past and present-day holy wars. See also Church Militants, who are always on a mission from God. Examples:
