It's only a matter of time before Christianity and Islam, along with the other less similar faiths, become the myths and we invent another religion to take their place.

My definition of a god would be simply that a god is an extremely powerful being. Emphasis on "being" rather than "human". After one transcends his human nature, one could be considered a god by me. This includes people like the Buddha, other enlightened fellows, Jesus etc. Now, these guys were all nicey nicey and everything, so maybe I should consider that in my definition of a god. But I don't because that's a crap idea. You know who isn't nicey nicey? God. Who else? Pretty much all the other gods we've invented. Seriously, how masochistic is the human race?

Anyway. Sephiroth became godlike. Just because a human could beat him up, or just because some people survived meeting him does not take anything away from the fact that he did become more than what he was as a human.

For me, there is no God and there are no gods, there are merely godlike beings. Rather than constantly refer to these beings as godlike beings, it is simpler to call them gods.
