Council of Angels: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The problem with [[God]] is that His given definition is one of [[Story Breaker Power|omnipo]][[The Omnipotent|tence]] and [[God Is Good|benevolence]]. This can make it tricky to depict Heaven, especially if you want to add some [[Rage Against the Heavens|grey]] in there; or the notion that [[The Legions of Hell]] are actually a threat. So we go down in Cosmic Denominators; though not quite to the [[The Lowest Cosmic Denominator|lowest.]]

The [[Council of Angels]] plot gets around this by stating that [[Heaven]] is run by angels instead, with varying powers running between the [[Physical God|Physical Gods]] and the [[Powers That Be]]; not counting the really young ones. Often it's explained that in the last two millennia, [[Have You Seen My God?|God decided to retire someplace sunny,]] or work on some secret project, [[Divine Delegation|letting humans and angels work things out themselves instead of directly controlling them]]. The angels tend to be somewhat upset about this. Or maybe there is no personal God at all, and the angels follow some more vague ideal of goodness, themselves at least supposedly representing its highest embodiment.
