[General Fantasy] Why are Clerics limited to blunt weapons? Wouldn't a sword be a more "merciful" weapon?

In addition to all the other reasons about being simple to use, blunt weapons are very effective against the undead, which is the main enemy clerics are used to fight against. Skeletons in particular are only harmed by bludgeoning damage. Congratulations, you stabbed a skeleton in the ribs. Good job, you did zero damage to it.
