It's meant to be an analogy with religion, but I wanted it to be enough removed for theists to given an opinion on this and then apply it to religion. Maybe I should just forgot this, if I explain it any further it would defeat the point of it. But I was looking for theists to reply really, but didn't put it in the religious section in case they found it offensive or something.

But thanks for your replies, sorry I didn't mean to mess you around Smile Hey it could be a good short story though...

I twigged the religion analogy from the Y,J,G stuff (Yahweh, Jehovah, God I assume) but I don't get the 20 year cycle thing.
