If I want a made up God then I'll have Aslan

[Cyberman]

I remember her - and him - very well from the old kick-ass TV series "Monkey".

So basically Jesus....I mean Narnia is just about making the concept of Jesus applicable for kids.

Unlike his friend Tolkien who incorporates his views in less transparent ways, Lewis just throws it at you.

That's the main reason I never bothered with any of the Narnia stuff, though I did read The Lying Old Witch In The Wardrobe or whatever it's called when I was considerably younger.

Never bothered with them either. My belief is if you are going to read about a religion, just stick to the actual religious works instead. I don't need to read the same stories with different coats of painting.

[Angrboda]

For some reason, when I think of Asian goddesses, I never think of Kali. That's largely because my brain doesn't intuitively grasp the fact that India is a part of Asia, so I forget. But in choosing Asian goddesses, first place of course belongs to my Diva, the Devi.

I would take Loki. Let's face it, he's hot! If you have to worship someone, let him (or her) at least be easy on the eyes

[Angrboda]

I don't know. Loki was pretty nasty. He killed Balder, and he used Hoder to do it. That's like, Sylar kind of psycho. The strange thing is, in India's religions, particularly the heterodox strains, there is a recurring trope of a pair of souls, united throught the multiple reincarnations in samsara, to always end up together, and resulting in each other's fate being fulfilled. For example, the Jain saint Vajraghosa, in one of his incarnations is reincarnated as an elephant. His soul 'brother', due to evil, has descended to being a snake. In jealousy and anger, the snake bites Vajraghosa, sending searing pain up the leg that was bitten. "But in spite of terrific pain, Vajraghoşa did not forget his hermit vows [of silence]. He died the death called 'the peaceful death of absolute renunciation,' and was born immediately in the twelfth heaven as the god Śaśi-prabhā, 'Splendor of the Moon'."

So even in final death, the good brother ascends, the bad brother descends. (This seems to echo themes in Buddhism regarding causality, dependent origination and so on, but the interesting thing to note, is there appear to be multiple levels of karma at play - the bad brother seems 'fated' to always descend, but what determines your fate? Your karma, which then is determined by his fate, determined by karma, by fate, by karma... he seems to be, as the libertarians would put it, "taxed twice on the same income.")

Gods are out of the running right off the bat. Goddesses..hmn,, maybe even asian goddesses....I could worship



Or at least little bits of her.....

Ah yes.... A goddess of a different sort, a Devi for the Devi. I am not completely immune to the charms of the more terrestrial goddesses.

Navia Nguyen. Interesting choice. Long time favorite?
