rymenhildTwo memes from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cataptromancer:
1. Would you allow other gods before you or be a jealous god?
Hmm. I think other gods beside me would be fine, but before me would be too much.
2. What bizarre lifestyle requirements would you place on your priesthood?
Priests who would worship me must devote seventeen years of their lives to ever more esoteric Higher Education, at the last surrendering themselves before the manifold cruelties of the Dissertation Committee.
3. What sacrifice would be most pleasing unto you?
Maud Bailey as played by Gwyneth Paltrow Books. Lots of books. Rising warped towers of books that fall down when you walk too close. Extra karma for new novels by Patricia McKillip or Lois Bujold, and genuine twelfth or thirteenth century English manuscripts will probably earn my worshipper a decently sized miracle.
4. How many sacraments would you have, and what would they be?
I don't get the whole concept of sacraments. I don't think Judaism has any, or if we do, we don't call them that. In any case, Eating One's God is right out.
5. How would you smite those who offended thee in thy sight?
I would smite them with the terrible breath of the dragon living within the earth. The dragon has not brushed his teeth in more than a thousand years, so his breath is indeed terrible.
6. With what other gods would you consort?
Whoever's hanging about, I guess.
7. How many orders of angels would you have, and what would they be called?
Six orders of angels sounds about right, but I don't care what they're called as long as they're not Thrones. One should not sit on an angel.
8. With what omens would you announce your impending arrival on earth?
Iron Orion shall bare its sword. The watery Sun shall torment the clouds. The malice of the planet Saturn will pour down like rain, killing mortal men as though with a curved sickle.... yes, I'm plagiarizing the Prophecies of Merlin. What else are they good for?
9. What animal would symbolically represent you in your scriptures?
A Cornish game hen. ....What?...
10. How would you redeem humanity for its sins?
That would be humanity's problem. I have better things to deal with.
I'm sure you all know that I support gay marriage. I'm also sure that posting a statement to that effect in my LiveJournal is not going to make a substantial difference in the voting patterns of the United States. Nevertheless, I'll just post the statement anyway.
In other news, the Enchanted Forest fic acquires an extra paragraph or two every time I can't sleep at night. At this rate, it'll be done in time for the winter holidays. Not sure which winter, though.
