New theistic chew toys wanted!

[Ahriman]

That tomatoes can be gods, for example, since I'm obsessed with growing quality tomatoes - and, further, anyone who devotes a significant portion of themselves to a thing is in the business of god creation.

I'd have picked more obvious analogs than whatever a person is obsessed with.  The things many people see as of incomparable quality, somehow - in a manner perhaps beyond any purely rational, material, or contingent description.  Their state, their family, their so.  Things they couldn't be without, and would rather be dead than lose. I probably think about those things like a very devout person thinks about their gods.  I wouldn't die for a tomato, or kill for one.

No, but you might die or kill for a deep spiritual attachment to tomatoes.
