Local Gods

Post by **Jonas** » Thu Jun 26, 2008 1:54 am

Now the Cedrist religion spread outside the Shirerithian borders Shireroth could call itself local and recognise a local God?

I'm not sure, but are Local Gods like patron saints in Real Life?

Now I sense the ominous warble of Divflaxia, Goddess of Divine Census Inflation...

Local Gods are just gods that are worshiped locally, but outside that area aren't really. ie, no one really cares about them outside the local area.

...unless they work really hard and gain a following, in which case they are not local anymore.............

I thought the idea of patronage was older than Christianity?

It is. The idea of a 'patron saint' came about because the Catholic church wanted to make the transition to Christianity easier on the pagans by combining beliefs.

Like why Christmas is celebrated in December and not sometime in Spring....

Something like that--when you have a perfectly good, popular holiday like Satutnalia, why not co-opt it and turn it into a Christian holiday. That way you accomplish two goals at once: you defuse the pagan holiday, and infuse the same holiday with new, Christian meaning.

Long live the Catholic Church! That it conquer the world with violence and let the people life in perfect harmony!

I've started giving my kids to medical experiments. There are so many of them...

Which, experiments or kids?

Kids. (Trying to continue the reference to the Meaning of Life by MP).

Right. I rarely watched it when it was first on PBS. So I have missed most of the in-jokes.
