It's shameful that is even being discussed.

Tillman seems to have been a man of impecable integrity and deserves better than the ignorant society he died for.

Right, I understand your point but I say that they are hardly deities because they are so anthropomorphically realized that it is basically impossible to take them seriously.

[A86]

@MegaSensimilla - Something doesn't have to create the universe to be a deity. That's the monotheist definition of "god". In most religions there are hundreds or even millions of gods that are basically just forms of life more intelligent, more powerful or much longer-lived than humans. Like Greek and Roman 'mythologies'. Those would also classify as deities, just simply not of the Abrahamic variety. Though polytheists might consider Abrahamic angels "deities".

@A86

If this creature is not responsible for the creation of the universe, then I would hardly classify them as a "deity".

Multiverse theory is very interesting, but highly conjectural. Should be taken with a grain of salt.

@drunkcookiemonster Good for you speaking up.  The truth has set you free and maybe someday your mom will too.

[A86]

@boyinthedrain - Largely agree. Not all religious people are like that but what you said is generally true for religion and religious people IMO.

[A86]

@MegaSensimilla - I think it's possible that anthropomorphic "deities" might exist, but if they do I believe they're probably either just advanced aliens or lifeforms from some another dimension or another plane of reality (maybe people or creatures from some of those other possible 8 dimensions in "String Theory"). I doubt that such a being would be responsible for the creation of the universe though.
