Make me.


Now, this is where I ask you. Is that a term you gave yourself, or is it a term that humans gave you?

Oh, someone sasses you, and then finding no words, you elect to use threat by force instead. How civilized.

Not that it would matter to me anyway.

You can be both human and a god, y'know.

There we go. It isn't so hard to think, isn't it?


“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

-Epicurus

It is not mutually exclusive, where after all, in many myths and legends the gods represents various aspects that defines a human. A concept given form and definition to human meaning and mind. But then—calling oneself god tends to be quite an amusing exercise in futility. I know, I tried.

I'm not the god Epicurus talked about. I wasn't a monotheistic creator. I was part of a pantheon that exalted, upheld, and regulated everything. Not quite as glamorous.

You and I are both aware that he is speaking about the term in general. And given his time period, he is talking about a pantheon.

Where else would you find a period where beliefs are so prevalent, that cities are named after gods and goddesses that whole sections of towns and temples be dedicated to them? Surely, he must be talking about the seemingly omnipotent hosts and hostess of the heavens who oversees all aspects of the lives of a common man?

Still, you certainly are powerful. Regardless of what your pantheon call yourself, what powers would be would have the ability to break the laws of thermodynamics?


Aw, you are ignoring me.

Someone's mad~

We weren't worshipped. Not many people even know we existed.

We're not around to be loved. We're around to keep the wheels turning, even if that means breaking laws like that when we need or want to.

Yes, I'm still powerful, but I lost almost all of my power. I'm not a god anymore.

Ah, well. No loss here.

-The computer screen shuts off-


Regardless of worship, you called yourself gods. Denoting power and hubris, regardless of whether you have it or not. Perhaps there is no other fitting terms in your minds. Perhaps there is, and you chose to ignore it, liking the connotation it gives.

But then it remains a single question then.

How?

I think most of them would frown at the implication that they chose a word like that because it made them feel good.

And how does it work? Well, I don't know. I can't tell you how gods formed, but I know that they did.

And no, not that. What I am asking you, is how you lost your powers.
