Nice and gives you a pause, too.
Douglass Addams, the genius who brought us the epic adventure, the 'increasingly inappropriately named "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" wrote a wonderful book on this very subject called "The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul" addressing
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the question "what does happen to those Gods we have created when we no longer need them?

and is a play on the theological treatise Dark Night of the Soul, by Saint John of the Cross.

I got my copy in Heathrow Terminal 4 (or sumpin) years ago, which in the novel was destroyed when Woden encounters an unusually recalcitrant ticket agent and he blows his top..

Here I am more interested in the mental approaches to the issue. Sometimes it sounds like believers just believe while atheists tend to rationalize. I am not sure this is entirely true. There's plenty of theologists who rationalize God.

What if the theologists would rationalize reality instead of God?
Maybe they will not be theologists anymore, however they would finally know something more.

Nah, he would have created the iGod aka Steve Jobs clone.

Pratchett created small gods...

Has nobody else seen the end of Lost? Do you really expect me to believe that that was made up? :dozey:
