i love this site:
http://www.godchecker.com/
Godchecker.com - Your Guide To The Gods. Mythology with a twist!
It's such a powerful statement about human's imagination, to me. I mean, they have 1 or 2000 gods on there! Having them all together like that makes it undeniable to me that we have had a deep fear of the fact that we are mortal (in the long term), and destructable (in the short term); vs immortal (in the long term) and indestructible and invincible (in the short term).
We have sought always, wherever our species has lived on this planet, to invent in our minds the idea of an all-good, all-knowing and all-powerful god (- especially in the middle east, or, in other places, gods) that will look after us.
The undeniable thing about this site is that god is a subjective experience, and cannot be experienced objectively. Why? because there are so many gods. if there was just one god, then godchecker.com would only have one god.
great site huh?
