The Logic of Chosen People
So here's some free thinking for you.
It is known that various groups of mankind believed themselves to be their God's chosen people, indeed, at the same time.
So let's play. Every race is now a specific animal with a specific culture and a creator. Now, they all inhabit the earth at once, each the chosen people of their God. The Gods wage war with one another via their chosen people.
Now, we must ask ourselves...
What happens to the God of an extinct race? (It has been suggested that one cannot be a God unless they are worshipped.) More confusing, what happens when their chosen people come together, uniting, coexisting? What happens when a chosen people are converted to another faith? Who wins? What happens when two chosen people of different races mate and reproduce? Which God takes precedence over mixed species? Do new Gods form?
Ahh! A new vein to explore!
Can Gods procreate with one another? Do their offspring create chosen people? Are alliances formed?
Are Gods mortal?
Can they directly interfere in the matters of their quarreling races?
Where do the Gods live? Are they on Earth? Are they in the heavens? Are they omnipotent?
