ok so
ive been thinking about this for a while but how exactly the fuck does this whole belief to god system work here anyway
i mean we have gods here that nobody except ancient history nerd basement cultists should be worshipping
riding high when some of the big names are spectacular only in their absence
and then theres the question of what bar you have to pass to be considered a god
like where the fuck are our incarnations of the flying spaghetti monster and ceiling cat
or less tragically dated memes
come on people they have religious texts too

[He's been relearning meme culture since he rediscovered it, someone stop him.]

i guess im not that faithful a person because the whole thing seems like grade a spun bullshit to me
but maybe someone can make more sense out of this most gordian of knots

discuss

I see... [She looks a little uncertain about it all, not sure where she quite falls on the spectrum of religion, despite the fact that she probably looks like someone who goes to church 3 times a week or something.]

It's interesting too that Amaterasu seems to be the head of it all or that it's all centered in Japan... I wonder if that means, at least in this world, that their religion is the 'true' one? [She smiles faintly herself] I'm sure scientists and religions all over would have a field day with that one.

[Jennifer pauses, then looks concerned. She hasn't really been checking the other responses, so--] No one's been cruel to you over this, have they?

[That's getting into more theoretical areas, and Davespite has to steeple his talons a little thinking on that one.]

That assumes this is the One True Heaven and all the others aren't just kind of getting mashed into this one because of however it is we're coming here or some shit. I mean, if gods from out of that pantheon only started showing up after this insane fuckery kicked off, it's kind of the first conclusion you come to. But yeah, either way, fucking theological World War III could start up over something like this.

[As for cruelty, Davesprite gives a casual shrug.] One or two people with no sense of humour, but that's probably not even considered cruel and unusual punishment.
