What happens when no one believes or remembers a God anymore? Will they just disappear?
And even if, does it mean if even one person believes in them they will live forever?

>> No.6023224

Once everyone forgets another brilliant troll will invent an even more elaborate mindfuck, rest assured.

>> No.6023227

I don't even know anymore. Touhou doesn't mention what might happen if essential gods stop receiving faith (like if everyone in Asia converted to Christianity or something) and honestly ZUN is so vague about everything it's hard to puzzle things out at all.

Oh, wait, you mean this is just supposed to be a Moriya Shrine thread? Carry on, then.

>> No.6023229

I'm guessing when their belief is on low they cease to exist in the physical realm and move to the spectral one but once the belief drops to zero they completely disappear.

>> No.6023235

I imagine they lose power with a lesser amount of followers they have.

Why is Reimu explaining all of this to Marisa? She's of the same religion and she meets gods on a regular basis. I can only assume ZUN is just philosophizing without any actual cultural basis.

Yeah, but still, doesn't it make sense for a god to have the same basis as an idea?

It makes sense, actually.

It's also how gods can travel between branch shrines. Shrines dedicated to a god can serve as a vessel for the essence of the god.

>> No.6023333

A deity, a true deity, is the origin, not a result, of creation.

The gods live on.

They mean Kami, not the origin.

Don't just go "WELL THEY CAN'T BE GOD HURR". Consider Kami as their own class and ignore the boundaries of what is or isn't a god.

Yes, and then the true, original god of the Moriya shrine will be back in their rightful throne.
