There seems to be this underlying ideology here that belief creates power and deities are somehow akin to a Tulpa. I am not really sure how that plays out but if you follow it then you can invest abstract cultural references with magical/divine energy in theory. Rather terry Pratchetts Small Gods in a way. Its a different take to the existent Gods of history or the psychologising of deities I've usually come across. Still I wonder, given the discussion of replacing Hercules or Aries with Chuck Norris, if Chuck Norris is prayed to and invoked will he get super powers? ;-) Well someone before came up with the line of using Peter Griffin and Lois as incarnation of the God and Goddess and they get super powers all the time. :-P David Caroline Tully wrote: > >>What real value (or power, or whatever other qualifier you care to > attribute) can something truly be said to have if no one knows it's > there,<< > > That's a bit human-centric isn't it?
