Babel Clash

My problem with writing these kind of gods into anything I wrote is that I’d have to create a plausible working backstory for it all — how gods work, how does one get to become a god, why do different gods have different powers, and how does worship work if unlike our own religion, where the ‘word of god’ can be interpreted in any number of different ways, here you can actually ask the guy himself.

Maybe there’s something in my Jewish half that makes that strike me as a good opportunity for comedy.   How disappointed the Jews would be if god himself could actually tell them what he meant when he said ‘x’, because it would deprive them of something to argue about.

I guess I’m more of a sociologist than a pure fantasist, I don’t write raw fantasy just to create something fantastical, I’m always writing about how stuff works in the real world.   Because there’s plenty of stuff that’s pretty amazing and even fantastical in the real world.   But I enjoy READING good raw fantasy, that’s different.

  My wife’s certainly suggested so in the past, through sniggers at one thing or another… But anyway, Joel’s issue with my kind of gods is the backstory and the mechanics of the world. I can certainly see his point, there’s a lot of work to be done there, but for...

  In honour of ME we’re going to talk about gods – I like how that sounds. I have to agree with Joel on one (the one major) point about gods, namely that mortals must control their own fate. To take a slight diversion, what’s bugged me about many novels, TV...
• Pagan Gods and Superheroes.
  There’s a different concept going on here with Roman and Greek style gods.   Those gods are an extension of the old pagan-style nature worship.   So a pagan culture might worship natural forces, like lightning, wind, the ocean, etc.   The role of these gods is to personify those forces, and to...
