Ow Great Prophet,
I come here in this mighty temple to ask You a favour. I want to get a promotion to the position of
Batavian Prophet of the Gods.
I already translated some articles. The Dutch article about Cedrism is
here.
Possible powers of the Prophet are:
- Appointing (normal) priests
- Contacting the High Priest, Prophet or other Prophets.
- Avoiding fragmentation (I'm not sure this is the right word) between the Dutch Cedrism and Anglophone Cedrism.
- Appointing demi- or local gods, with approval from the other (Shirithian) priests.

I want to appoint a new demigod: Stalin, Demigod of Doomed Revolutions.
Johannes Stalin was a former citizen and was leader of a revolution to make Dietsland independent. I think he tried three times in one month and then gave up.

Sounds like a good demigod!

It's general policy not to name gods after people anymore (unless they are historical figures). It avoids certain...complications.

How about a Semi-Demi-Hemi-God?

And Stalin was a historical figure, not a very nice one at that...

He's not talking about Joseph, but Johannes Stalin, a different man entirely.

Indeed, and he isn't active anymore. And I don't think he would have any problems with it to be called a demigod
Otherwise, we can call him Johannes.

I would accept that more readily.
but the name Stalin itself carries historical baggage we proly don't want.

It definitely is less disturbing than repeatedly hearing the name of a homocidal mass-murderer when mentioning a demi-god.

The attributes "Demi-God" and "Homicidal mass murderer" are not mutually exclusive.

Very true, but in this case there is no point in adding extra ambiguitiy where none is needed.

Verily, "Stalin" belongs to Balgurd. He's not even fun-evil.
Stalin appears to Vladimir Putin in a dream.
"Kill all of the Democracy advocates and pain the Kremlin blue", says Stalin.
"Why blue?" asks Putin.
