A halo has some kind of symbolic meaning. I don't think the wings on angels were meant to be symbolic but more or less to full fill a functional need.

You're thinking this thread belongs in GD, so why am I wasting time posting in it? At least anyway that's what I'm thinking.Archon said:

Yeah! This isn't a joke! Me and Pengwuino finally have worshippers. Time to start up our church and ascend to godhood!

So which one of you gets to be the "good" god? You should start campaigning now, before it's too late. Incidentally, I'm the best divine campaign manager there is. Remember Jesus? Well...Smurf said:
And you need to create some divine rules for your mindless worshippers to follow.

You're hired... wait, who did Muhammad, and Buddha, and all those other religious leaders. Tell you what, you're hired and I'll build you a team as soon as I find them. There seems to be such a shortage of divine campaigners recently, maybe I could mix some scientific ones in.Archon said:
Hmm, what do you recommend? I mean the 10 commandments worked for Jesus, but that's a bit out of fashion now, especially "Be good to your parents" or wahtever it is.
