And then when they all believe, you change the rules because you accidentally spawned to many people.
God: "I can only save some of you!"
People: "How many?"
God: "Twelve.."
People: "Twelve?!? But there are many more of us"
God: "Times 12..."
People: "144?!? But there are still many more!"
God:"... thousand."
People "Oh lord, I'm one of those 144000, right?"
God: "Of course you are my dear".
Other people:"...but you already saved more than 144000 before we were even born?"
God:" yeah well, just believe me OK?"
Depends on denomination but source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/144,000
It's amazing that there are so many different interpretation. Religious people have such creative imaginations.
I’m reading a fictional book series where a character in the first few books literally becomes the new god… then the later books take place a few hundred years later, and you see how the new god laid everything out for the people, and gave them books on how to prosper and all this valuable info… and STILL these idiots ended up forming various competing religions, full of BS!
mistborn saga, right?
Haha yup!
