Here's a wiki on the subject that mentions a few - and there are more. Let wonder lead you to knowledge

Quote:It's most definitely a package deal. That might sound somewhat twisted but unfortunately Holy books have a lot of twisted stuff in there. I'm all about truth though and IF one of them were to be the Ultimate Truth of the Cosmos then it means that the reality is that you have to get down on your knees and worship that dictator.
Is there some other unspoken qualifier as well? When you talk about the "ultimate truth" as it might be contained in one of those narratives is there something there that needs to be mentioned? Clear your mind of those narratives, is it just the three things in the package that seem to you to compel worship? Doesn't do it for me. I'm unclear as to how those three things would force me to worship the possessor of those attributes. Care to take a crack at that?
Further, bringing back those narratives - why would I -have- to worship any of those gods....I'm not sure I understand how you came to that conclusion? Personally, if any of the narratives commonly pondered over actually were true I have even less reason to bow -and I already have none. I'd have to worship it....-or what- ?
