The class

Post Reply New Topic

There's a certain class of Gods who love surprises. But how can you be surprised by anything when you're a God? Simple, you're surprised by the fact that you've lost your divinity. And how do you lose your divinity? I'll explain...

When a God in this class decides to play, to enter the game, he doesn't know in advance when he will come out, or if he will come out. The God in question only has the option of deciding which game he wants to play. The other Gods cannot stop the game in order to make this God come back. They can only decide to enter the game themselves. This is an important point because it brings suspense to the Gods who are not playing. And suspense is good when you love surprises.

The Gods of this class being all (all, whatever) different, they will have different tactics and strategies to be surprised in the chosen game. Because they are Gods, they don't have to incorporate themselves, to give themselves an identity. They are in the game whether we like it or not. What is certain, however, is that the various strategies and tactics of these Gods are permeated by the game environment.

So, we know that this class of Gods loves surprises. We also know that the goal of the game, for them, is to go back to where they came from. We also know that pain hurts and that having too much pain could disgust some of these Gods to start playing again, which would make them lose their divinity. This specific game would then become a curiosity for the Gods who have not yet played this game.

Change is a state. It is said that there is good on one side and evil on the other. There's more to it than that. Because if there's good and evil, there has to be a connection between the two. That connection can then be seen as a shift from good to evil, or from evil to good. Then that change is a state. The mistake that many people make is that they confuse states and identities. You are not the evil that you are doing. But it also means you're not the good you're doing either. You have the free will to choose what changes to make to maintain a good road for you and your fellow man.

I said above that these Gods do not incorporate. But you can get an idea of the God you are affiliated with by the strategies you employ to stay on the right road for you and your fellow men. But they are only 'those' Gods after all. There are other classes of Gods, who do not intend to play the game.

Well...only a monotheistic god would be expected to be "omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent". And because of the first characteristic - a monotheistic Abrahamic type god would be incapable of being surprised.

But that doesn't apply to the polytheistic pagan gods of old.

The Gods of Mount Olympus, and of Valhalla, and the Mayan gods, and the Egyptian gods,etc, were more powerful than us mere mortals. But they were never "all powerful" , and "all knowing". They each ruled some department within nature (weather, the sea, the underworld, fertility, etc) So pagan polytheistic gods would be capable of being surprised, and of being outwitted, and so forth.

At least two religions evolved ways of having it both ways: monotheism and polytheism at the same time: Christianity and Hinduism.

In Hinduism a multitude of gods can be "avatars" (ie "manifestations") of higher more powerful gods, who are in turn can be manifestations of yet higher deities.

Hinduism has millions of deities but they all trace upward to the "trimurti" - the top three: Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer. And then in some sects of Hinduism these three are really all manifestations of Brahma.

Any way these lesser avatar gods may not be all knowing, but their higher ups are.

Christianity does the same thing - combines monotheism with polytheism, in the Trinity. The father, the son, and the Holy Ghost.

It stops at three,and does not go on to postulate thousands and millions of deities the way Hinduism does. But those three are essentially "avatars" of the "father" even though they don't use the term "avatar".

The three are separate, and yet all are one. But apparently there are things (for example:the exact hour and time when the world will end) that are known "not even by the son, but only by the father". So...Christ can be surprised by facts not known to him, but only by Jehovah himself.

I don't speak French. So I cant understand that video.
