“Okay folks, it’s time to listen to me. Enough of your various points of view. It’s time y’all gather ‘round to hear the Truth as revealed to me by the almighty god and lord the great and all powerful me. I have found out that I’m the best. That I’m in charge of the whole universe and you should all worship the ground I walk on on a daily basis. This is not just a fact, it’s a factoid. Personally, I’d take it to heart and let it guide you in all of your decisions. Just ask yourself what I would do. My powers are terrific in this regard, and in basically any other regard for that matter.” “I disagree. I feel that while you may have superpowers, you are not an all-powerful deity. I believe in a world where mutant genes or alien forces can cause people to have superpowers. But not “magic” per se. In other words, are you really claiming to have a transcendent existence and not be of the material world, or are you just saying you have super powers?” “Well, yeah, I have superpowers. But I also have a lot of good advice.”

06/30/2005 Streifenbeuteldachs (2): Any and all allegories were not lost on me, but it was still a yawn-inducing bit of authormanship.
07/1/2005 scoop (4.5): My powers are terrific. Facoitd. Advice. Good stuff, vis a vis its qualities.
07/2/2005 Partytime: Snow, great topic. I've been sort of heavily getting into religion lately myself, and you may not be aware that there's a lot more to it than your characters convey. You probably do know we are all flung from the same Divine Ether. "Magic" is but a manifestation of G-d's grace. Also, you need to be careful not to minimize both the scriptural and revelatory advice He bestows. Give me a call and we can steer you toward some really solid people in your area.
