"To become God is the loneliest achievement of them all"
Said no one, except maybe Abraham’s children, and people with NPD… ever?
Beaches & grains of sand:
The GrecoRoman pantheon? 12 major, infinite minor.
The Norse pantheon? 12 & infinite others (both higher & lower)
The Hindu Pantheon 33 principal, limitless lesser.
Named
The Shinto pantheon? Has millions.
Chinese pantheon thousands to millions
The Egyptian pantheon? Thousands.
Yoruba? Hundreds to thousands.
Mayan pantheon Hundreds.
Aztec pantheon 200+
I’m skipping over lots and lots and lots of -both modern & ancient- religions, clearly, just doing a simple global sweep… but “there is no god, but god” is limited preeeeetty much to an extinct Egyptian sun god cult & Jews, Christians, Muslims. (Abraham’s kids, who all worship the same god, only make up about half the total population).
Add them all together and that’s a croooooooooowded f*cking city/planet.
With one grumbly desert god, giving the finger to everyone else.
