Default Re: How to RP Diety Relationships w/ topsy-turvy Like vs dislike?

hhhmmm a short diversity, something that came to my mind but surely everyone will see this as a simply excuse to use.
You have a group:
1Cleric (Pyro)
1Mage (Neutral)
1Bard (Neutral)
5 figther/rouges (vorax, mist, pyro, Katia, Dorand followers)

After a battle the follwoing are dead.
2 figther/rouges (mist, vorax)

Now the allied Cleric can raise the mist follower due to alignment (a guess) but what about the voraxian?
Simply answer would be No.

Consider though now the alignment of the Cleric and the particular situation.
What if the voraxian claiming what he does serve vorax but actually in the eyes of the Cleric he simply (smiling inside of himself) sees the havoc and destruction that our dumb voraxian does? Maybe our cleric has to heal our voraxian now and then but just see the benefits he gets from it. (as long the expenses are low and the profit is high).
Would the Cleric simply leave the voraxian dead, maybe risking dying in UD because without that ekstra hand it will be too tough?

My point is:
A) Of course it is simply to look at the deity relationship. Done.
B) But what about the situation, the motive for the clerics action, Alignment could maybe have an saying etc etc
The right way would be B) in my point of view but A) is so much easier.
