  • Gods are like money. They only exist because people believe in them. But they can still have an effect on the world because of how that belief works. For example, I think money makes people more selfish. Money creates billionaires and drives them to run sweatshops and bribe politicians. Money made the oil industry, money is destroying the world.

    Do you believe money is capable of agency, of changing people’s behaviour, like I do? Or do you think it’s just people acting on their own based on their belief in money, and money itself isn’t making any of the decisions?








  • I’m playing a Troubadour and I can pump out a lot of recoveries, but only in a limited range. Which is nice, because when we’re getting our asses kicked and Leeroy starts hitting the “I need healing” button, I can tell them “I’m not coming to you, I’m running away. You need to come to Me.” And then they do. And then we don’t tpk!



  • The biggest problem with the book is that Dawkins demonstrates that the gods are living, evolving ideas which have developed over time to the point of being able to exert agency on the world… And then remains an atheist. Instead of concluding, as Terry Pratchett liked to joke, that the gods are alien intelligences created by humans through worship.
