So I stumbled across a question.
Page 346, under Magic and Spells, the iconic mystic - clearly a devotee of Pharasma - seems to be using the animate dead spell.
I mean, it could be the control undead spell (found on both the facing and same page) - though, given the way the shirren is drawing up her hand and at least one of the dead creatures seems to be standing up in response to said action, it kind of looks like she's raising them -, but, really, it doesn't matter: either way, it seems that a Pharasman is using undead.
I mean, in her picture on page 82 (Classes), 333 (Magic and Spells), she's clearly got a sigil of Pharasma floating above her head (and it's unclear if it's there or not on 346 - it could just be out of frame).
So, that leads to a question: has Pharasma revised her stance on undead? Or is it simply her worshipers?

Bugs are weird man.

They also list Eox as one of her major centers of Worship, despite her entry in the list of gods still explicitly calling out her hatred of the undead. I've got no clue, man.

According to page 489, her stance has not changed.Undead are abominations to be destroyed, as are those who raise them.
I can see her religion being a proscribed cult on Eox with some fringe appeal. As for the bug... yeah, if it is a Pharasmin, it makes 0 sense to raise undead.

Raise now, repent later.

They're casting Control Undead, not Create so Pharasma should be alright with it.

This is correct. 90% of spell illustrations in Paizo products feature a spell that is on the preceding or following page. 10% are on the same page.
In this case Control Undead is on the preceding page, Animate Dead is much earlier. I don't think Pharasma would mind if you turned undead against your enemies, then destroyed them after.

IMHO, it can depend on how your GM interpenetrates Pharasma's will in the game. ie would a follower of Pharasma even take control undead vs spells to just destroy them. Would she even teach such a spell to her worshipers?

Take it from me, you never want to interpenetrate any part of a god.

I feel like this is leading up to a "dad" joke...
