Feb. 8th, 2005 10:52 pmRandom thought based on something I said in
trollprincess's journal:
What are the names and natures of the modern world's unspoken gods? I don't mean Yahweh or Allah or Gaia or Christ or any that belong to an established religion. I mean gods like Murphy, God of Misfortune and Malfunction, or Ralph of the Porcelain Altar, God of Drunken-ness and Ill Health.
I suspect that there's a diety of blood and oil, who considers car wrecks to be sacrifices. And there may be a diety of technology considering how many people act like their TVs or computers to be mildly sapient ("C'mon, baby, don't do this to me! Just work, damn you!").
So, how 'bout it? Gimme names & natures, people. The Gods demand recognition!
