What are the gods that humans worship?

[UltraBudgie]

Huh maybe western civilization is doing that with all its "greed is good" ideas creating a tulip of molach like ginsberg said

...What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination?Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in armies! Old men weeping in the parks!Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch! Moloch the loveless! Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy judger of men!Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgment! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments!Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money! Moloch whose fingers are ten armies! Moloch whose breast is a cannibal dynamo! Moloch whose ear is a smoking tomb!Moloch whose eyes are a thousand blind windows! Moloch whose skyscrapers stand in the long streets like endless Jehovahs! Moloch whose factories dream and croak in the fog! Moloch whose smoke-stacks and antennae crown the cities!...

maybe howl was more a type of formative spellcasting than huh always wondered about that ginsberg guy

also yes though chistian dogma is all one god theres certainly multigod tuliplike stuff in the tradition for example you made me think of the story of bel and the dragon from the apocrapha that the catholics put in their bible its about daniel and the king who is worshipping the god bel and he says to daniel "hey bel must be real because look he eats all the food we put out as an offoring!" hahaha anyways is a quick read and quite a fun story https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bel...Chapter-1/

and didnt genesis say there were a whole bunch of gods too that often seems glossed over

and i guess the measure of the tulip things being real is if it acts like its real we're never going to get direct evidence to scienceproove it just like with big-g god so the whole idea of peoples belief in it making it powerful really sounds like bark on the proper tree
