By Neil Garman.
Am starting to read fiction for the first time in years.
Religion is a vantage point from which to view the world. It's power and strength come as much from people who share the same view, as from any inherent supernatural backing.
People want to believe in something. Anything that will give them hope and a feeling of control.
The book supposes that when enough people believe in and worship a thing, then a god of that thing will emerge. The god of TV, of Drugs, of the Internet, all exist in America and live uneasily along other older gods. Oden, Ganesh, too many other gods to count.
