Brother Ray wasn't carving stars into everyone's head.
Religion is a weird thing in Game of Thrones because magic exists and yet there are still people who use falsehoods to influence the faithful.

so the high sparrow in king's landing must've just been an extremist motherfucker out for power just like the rest of the people fighting for claim of the kingdoms
I honestly don't know why Jon didn't just execute her ass.
Preview:
If there was anyone that would gladly be happy that drogan simply eats on sight, it's Mel. Fuck her child burning agenda, and here she is bringing her fuckery to Dany. I hope Jorah shows up out of nowhere and throws I spear through her heart as she begins trying to weave her treacherous shit.

I think Melisandre was just being used to put the pieces in place for Jon to be where he is now.
Maybe the Lord of Light is just a troll. Meli sees Bolton banners burning, but it turns out it's not Stannis who defeats them.
The Hound just saw "A Mountain" in a vision, for all we know that's just the Lord of Light being a fucking troll again and being two fold with it's future visions.
Hey... wait of minute.
Lord of Light.... LoL
Oh my god

Catelyn also mentioned early on that the reason her family is going through so much trouble is because she did not keep her promise to the "gods" that she would love Jon Snow
The Lord of Light is a dick if he's stealing the Old God's prayers, too.

speaking of which, doesn't that light religion believe in 2 gods?

Game of Thrones is all about what could have been if not for fate.
Had Rhaegar took Jamie (unlikely since he's Kingsguard), Selmy, Hightower, and Dayne. This is easily 3 of the greatest fighters who ever lived in their prime.
Imagine the 5 of them cutting down Robert's forces.
Selmy tells Dany that Rhaegar used to make money singing and give it to the poor. People loved him. He would have made a hell of a king!
I feel like that'd be a bit of a cop out since both resurrections that we've seen have been completely different, it's not really about the ritual but more them asking the same god to bring someone back. If it was just magic, I feel like there would need to be a bit of consistency there.
Well Mel's also summoned the vagina monster which is odd with resurrection. Seems like something the Lord of Light wouldn't be associated with? IDK.
In the Mistborn series by the gay bashing dickwad Brandon Sanderson, there exists a prophecy that a hero will go on a quest that would save the world. It eventually becomes known that the prophecy may in fact be mistranslated, and that the male hero everyone is expecting might in fact be a female due to the story being passed down wrong.
However, the prophecy isn't exactly what everyone thinks it is, and the source of the prophecy is in fact a locked up ancient evil. It created this story so that a gullible idiot would one day go on a hero quest to fulfil a prophecy that actually would doom the world.
I would laugh myself into a coma if the Lord of Light worked in a similar fashion.
"Ok let's see here, who is a no nonsense commander who although is a prick, is more than capable to command soldiers and fuck with my plan? Stannis? I need him out of the way. Great who's next? Jon...oh he drove home girl away. I'll get back to him. Oh who is this?! Dragon girl! Other Red priestess, make yourself presentable and go talk some fire shit to Khaleesi. Ah ok, this Hound guy wants some direction in his life. Hey isn't his brother named the Mountain? Let me show him a literal mountain to fuck with him! Haha!"
Lord of Light accomplishments
-Melted snow. Cost: Burn Shireen
-Shadow baby killing Renly. Cost: Stannis' sperm count?
-Possible dead kings. Cost: Leeches
-Jon Snow resurrection. Cost: Hair
-Beric Dondarrion resurrection X 6. Cost: Thoros has to listen to the same story over and over.
-Fuzzy image of someone winning a battle/being the prince who was promised. Cost: The lives of everyone you care about.
I think the trees give Bran powers for free.
The seven don't do any magic as far as I can tell.

i think shireen was sacrificed for nothing. i think the snow would have "melted" anyway i don't think burning an innocent little girl alive changed fucking anything.
and those leeches didn't do shit either. a spark didn't go off in carcetti's and olenna's minds to conspire killing joffrey suddenly when those leeches drank gendry's blood.
fuck that noise.

Lord of Light behaves exactly like the demon from Wish Upon or Djinn. He's a fuck boi, plain and simple. Stannis killed his brother in a shady manner, he burned his in laws alive because they wouldn't worship his new god, and he sacrificed his daughter (also lost his wife). But the Red Woman told him he was the Lord of Light's chosen one, and what did he gain? Or she could have simply misread everything. But you'd imagine if the dude is real he'd tell her at some point, "hold up you crazy fuck, I didn't ask you to do any of this!"
The night is dark and full of terrors.

plenty of terror in the sunlight too.
No way Tyrion is going to be down with her shit. He plays the game too well to let Mel fuck all this up for him.
The Artisan

well Varys is the one who isn't really fond of them. I don't think Tyrion will have much of an opinion.
What was the being that Varys was saying he heard talking to the sorcerer who mutilated him? It was through flames as well right, so Lord of Light yeah? Dude is all sorts of fucked up.

that is the most uncomfortable i've seen varys look

i thought it was implied that greyworm has his pillar, just not his stones
Varys, Grey Worm, and Theon?
I really need Varys, Tyrion, Missandae, and Grey Worm to collectively start doing this when the Red child murderer starts spouting her filth...
I think it's amazing that between all her advisors and her own self, she has enough people who would absolutely recoil in horror from what Mel is and preaches.
Cat brought on the Gods' wrath when swearing to be better to Jon when he fell seriously ill. When he got better, she went back to treating him poorly, breaking her word to the Gods. Watching her favored son die in front of her was some old Gods style comeuppance.

you know i will say, one thing I liked about Melisandre's arc is how she loses confidence towards the end of season 6.
she passes her off as a knowitall for the whole show but then the morning that a foot soldier comes to Stannis telling him that half his army left, there is that look on her face like you've never seen before. Like she doesn't know what's happening.
The Artisan

Varys might.
but if we are to go by the trailers,
it looks like Davos will go with Jon to Dragonstone and Melisandre is already there anyway. So Davos will say his piece if he has to.
The Artisan

yeah that's basically what i meant when i talked about this scene earlier
edit: sorry for double post

We're all cool if Dany has Drogan immediately roast Mel when Ser Davos tells her about Shireen right?
"I will pay injustice with justice!"
Come on Dany, this one is earned! Child killings equals immediate reprisal remember?

I hate seeing Varys with hair.
this makes me uncomfortable
HarysI hate seeing Varys with hair.
The other way to look at it is the Lord of Light put her on a specific path to be where she needed to be in order to resurrect Jon Snow at the right time.
I don't know who the person in the pic you posted is, but in case you got your images wrong, here's Varys with hair.I hate seeing Varys with hair.

That was the voice through the flames! No wonder Varys was shook.When one lost their dick, the other one gained it.
Alright, I just saw it...
And holy shit was that an excellent episode. The dialogue, pacing, editing, music, cinematography, lighting, cgi backgrounds, general production..
GoT is back. Fuck nothing touches this show
And no nudity or excessive violence necessary. I can get used to this!
