"That would be cool of the aliens. Helps with the avoiding religious imperialism, and all."

Permalink

"Quite."

Permalink

"I think you're doing OK on that front so far. Most of the godlike Star Trek aliens were much harder to reason with."

"Q was an obnoxious twit and I hold myself to far higher standards than 'better than him'."

Permalink

"Oh I wasn't even thinking of him! Like, in TOS the Metrons were all - uh, you know what, we shouldn't have this discussion right now, you have babies to save and planets to terraform and housing to develop."

"It's good to take a breather every now and then, but good point, I should probably be going."

Permalink

"Yeah. Come back any time, Christina."

"Thank you," she says sincerely, and then she is back in Fred's man-cave.

"Is Keturah all right?"

Permalink

"I think so. Also, change of plans, I'm terraforming Mars."

Permalink

"To build Heaven on Earth from scratch?"

Permalink

"Yeah, Keturah was really helpful about figuring that part out. Also there have been some details I have been eliding that I should probably stop."

Permalink

"Keturah's smart! You should listen to her. What details?"

"So I'm not not the second coming, per se, but I'm not the local second coming. There are multiple universes and I met someone in an interdimensional bar and she explained about bitoxiphosphene and I followed her home."

"Should we be expecting God to show up soon to smite you for trying to grab his territory?"

Permalink

"I have thus far encountered no evidence to suggest this to be the case."

Permalink

"Probably worth checking if the world is actually six thousand years old, then."

Permalink

"That seems really unlikely. Mine sure isn't."

Permalink

"Well, I'm not sure how else to check for a deity, but if we're assuming people in your world evolved therefore people in our world must have evolved, then we should probably assume that your world has a deity so our world also has a deity."

Permalink

"Oh god the Mormons were right."

Permalink

 

"What?"

Permalink

"There are a bunch of different gods even though there's only one god of Earth! --I guess I don't know if we become gods if we're sufficiently Mormon."

Permalink

"...I don't know of any methods by which normal humans might become gods and I don't expect that if there were they would involve Mormonism in particular."

Permalink

"Damn, I was looking forward to having my own planet."

Permalink

"It'd be per universe and not per planet anyway. At least if it works like mine. I...haven't...actually found a native God. But, you know, people have been failing to find proof of God for millenia, soooo..."
