If I could eliminate one meme from the collective conscious, it would be "god of ______"

It is dumb, ahistorical, amystical, and dumb.

(Okay, fine, I could eliminate hate or racism or homophobia or child rape or some shit. Yeah, I'd probably do that instead. Nonetheless, it is a pretty annoying one.)

Er? How's that iffy, exactly?


I mean, unless I and my Classics courses are totally wrong--or, granted, unless they covered it in one of the multifarious sessions I slept through--cultures had gods of stuff. At least, the Greeks did.

"God of Death? Ha! God of Dumb more like it!"

Be well.

Yeesh, ever play in a Glorantha game with someone who didn't get this?

"Of course Doburdun's the same as Orlanth! They're both the God of Thunder!"

Yeah, just like Zeus is Thor with a platinum blonde wig set and wearing a towel.
