A thought occurred about story telling ...
Science fiction and fantasy is one of my root paths,
along with scientific atheism and Roman Catholicism,
though I now consider myself as an individual/eclectic
neopagan. If I had Jesus as a main deity I would be
considered a Christopagan, but he is just one of my
many minor deities. My eight main deities are
Goddess, LOVE2, Cosma, Galacta,
Sola, Gaia, Luna, and My Species.
Skepticism has been said to be a feature
of Daojia, Daoist philosophy as it were.
Perspectives enter pictures.
Deities are common.
What if your main deities were to converse
and determine what to do about the ideas you have
for the onset of a global new age?
People who are viewed by them as criminals
would be affected and cease doing what they did.
Sexual activity may be common among the species.
War might be no longer a practice.
What else does your global new age have
that the current age is lacking in?
Does disease continue or are all forms of life
perfectly healthy all the time? No cuts nor blood
shed. No falling down. No sadness. All forms live
happy ever after?
What about economics?
Do all the people have equal access
to housing, food, clothes, education, transportation
and other material things they can imagine?
Is there a disparity between rich and richer folk?
Does every body live in the same fashion?
How about the world as an environment?
Does global warming prevent the next glacial period?
Do species no longer evolve nor go extinct?
Will the star called the Sun ever expand
and become a jolly red giant?
How much have you thought about these phenomena?
What about space travel?
- thanks! aye. Cheers!
