Look, if I'm going to deal with existing religions in my fanfiction, I might as well go for broke and come up with something to offend *everybody*, if someone was so anal as to actually *be* offended.

---

Was anyone offended? Hell, if you think you're being offensive, then I'm a blaspheming heretic since I do not belong to any of the religions I'm writing about here.

If you want to *really* get a headache, think on this: If Kami-sama is the ultimate god, creator, etc of the universe in OMB - in other words, if he's essentially the Judeo/Christian omniscient/unlimited God - then why does he have any of the celestials in the first place? Why does he have Yggdrasil? Where does Kami-sama stop and Yggdrasil begin?

---

Let's put it this way: Kami-sama is copy-protected code that only lets us see what it wants us to see. Yggdrasil is the pure machine code that a computer interprets from Kami-sama. And the various gods and goddesses are external debugging programs that catch the occassional hiccup or mistake. We could even take it a step further and say that the gods/goddesses are part of a self-evolutionary software that keeps the celestial system constantly evolving to keep up with the current era/demands on the system.
