True. Loli Saber still had time to be a little girl before having that beaten out of her so she could act like a man. And Loli Rin probably hadn't lost her father yet.. or been weighed down by financial hell.

Not at all, it's definately a cool idea. A less realistic thing I wish were true is that the damned mythologies of all the different religions like Norse, Greek, Egyptian, etc were real and still around in some form or another, but that's just wishful thinking in the end.

Greek Gods were made all powerful, but with human faults.

Mostly because the people couldn't accept something that would be all-wise and superior to them, but they needed something to fear and that would explain all the forces of nature they couldn't control.

Norse gods are mostly a pantheon of warriors, since for these people, a mighty warrior is what they would respect and mostly aspire to.

Egyptian gods are like the structure back then, being Absolute Monarchs far above the commoner, not really intervening(almost no Egyptian Legends speak of Gods meddling in human affairs or sending champions and whatnot, just giving orders through their 'priests').

Christian God is 'He is wise and did everything, we don't explain shit, just believe', perhaps people got tired of having pantheons.

Well, my claim is that deities gain their life and power from worship, and considering then that when Christianity started to spread, and gain strength, the fact is that they just effectively killed, maimed and tortured anyone who didn't convert to the faith most of the time.

Following that trail of thought, they basically almost killed off all the other pantheons by starving them of followers - and that they only exist as bare shreds of their former power, kept alive through memory (and the occasional lingering religious groups) alone.

So what I really just hope is that Christianity will fall apart and we can all get back to the days when you could pick a deity that best fit you from a long list of Gods that aren't all-powerful and omnipotent.

What's the point of a god though, if he has faults?
Gods are not supposed to be just heroes or powerful, they should be paragons.

Best thing to do is to accept something beyond human created everything and put it in order, and now we have to live in this world.
And turn it into a mess.

>> No.784193

I prefer a God that is at least flawed. I find that actually easier to believe in, and not the idea that 'God is never wrong -- don't question it', and that if God was ever proven wrong, the universe would probably implode or some shit like that.

That a deity has faults and has made mistakes and suffered from them should act as a means to say 'This guy is all powerful, and even he fucked up, so watch yourself and don't do stupid shit'.

>> No.784205

Fuck yeah, the Ragnarok is the most badass thing ever. And the ideal thing about it is that unlike most 'end of the world' tales, not everyone dies. A few Gods survive (I think a son of Odin does), and Yggdrasil shelters (or births, can't remember) the next generation of man and woman.

Basically, Ragnarok is about the world ending in flames, but from the flames rises the new world and its people and the continued legacy of the Aesir.

None of that Rapture bullshit where everyone dies and then gets divided between either going to heaven or going to hell.

On the topic of divinity (where I think Gil's is the highest if he weren't considered a douche by the Gods), where would an Egyptian pharaoh stand with a Divinity rank? Considering the fact that the title of Pharaoh kind of makes you the 'son of Ra' or the likes, that is.

the egyptian gods are much like the greek gods. each ruled or was prayed to for specific topics. furthermore, their powers rise and fall with the patronages of the pharoahs and nobilities. there are a few such as horus, rah, and the death god, that retain importance irregardless of the change in dynasty.
