I have this mental fanfiction that every god has a way to be killed, and when you kill them you can get things from them.
For instance, the one that I refer to the most often is Ben Franklin using a kite and a key to slay Zeus and to steal electricity from him.
And then of course there’s Prometheus who intentionally and willfully laid down his own life so that humanity could have fire.
But there are more gods than there are words to describe them.
What other gods have we claimed existed, that we humans have likely slain, and what do you think we got from them?
We killed Yaweh, gained a deeper understanding of the abyss, and unleashed fundamentalism.
You mean El?
Nah, definitely jehova, which definitely isn’t a mistranslation.
El was killed by his son Yahweh, who commanded us all to honour our parents, then made us forget about El, with no god above Yahweh. According to Moses’s war on Egypt that required religious divisiveness to kill all of those who didn’t believe in “thou shalt not murder” as hardcore.
