      Or literally look like a specifically male human. What he does with those two legs when he already exists everywhere, nobody knows. It’s not just the Abrahamic religions either, all the myths of the world have a bit of anthropocentrism to them. That was excusable when we had no better ideas.

        My favorite interpretation of that was in Mage: The Ascension. Man being “in God’s image” wasn’t morphological, it was in man’s ability to reshape reality to his whims.

          On the subject of fiction, I was thinking about H.P Lovecraft when I wrote this. His whole thing was making a mythology that’s not anthropocentric, and incorporates that character of vast incomprehensibility that our modern science has.
