Subject:  Re: Religions in Space

A recent post in the SJ folder on the TSR site about the Astromundi
Religions has gotten me thinking about religions in space.

Religions in space, how do you handle them? Are they just a big mish-mash of
deities w/o any rhyme or reason? Or do they have some substance to them?
The nature of SJ universe would seem to disallow any sort of coherent
pantheon. It seems to be a big frontier in a divine sense, with the stray
god from this world or that world in the role of the pioneer trying to gain
a foothold among the spacefaring races.

But I can also see it as a new pantheon trying to be born. Ptah, and
Celestian vying for the top dog spot. Other gods (lesser or demi) who have
no real power or influence w/i their own pantheons gathering some followers
and seeking out a spot in this new pantheon where they might have a chance
for more power.
I just had this thought a couple of days ago and it's one I find intriguing.
I'll have to mull it about for a while and look through various resources
for possible deities that might wish to escape the old and start new and see
what kind of ideas I can come up with. I've toyed with the idea of the
rivalry between the followers of Celestian and Ptah evolving into a bitter
war as the push to become head of the new pantheon escalates.
