@Phorm From *whom*, though? If they're omniscient, we're already screwed... and it raises the question of why they didn't go full Ananias and Sapphira on you and just strike *you* dead.
If they're not, well, yeah. You invoke one god of ideology, another one with a beef just might take a shot at you. If somehow all this *is* real and efficacious... isn't that all the more reason to double down and put faith in the one(s) you asked for shelter?
re: Woo (--), MH, Oblique US Pol
@Phorm What you're describing, if it were a retaliation, assumes (a) your ritual was powerful enough to create consequences at the NATIONAL LEVEL, which sounds [a1] unlikely [a2] desirable; (b) it's from the most powerful bastard on the block, and not just some local demiurge puffing itself up to scare us; (c) it's not as scared as us as you are of it.
Hush, toy, and keep dancing like you were built to. Speak only if you need rewound, or feel the urge to sing. <3

@Phorm That's our good fox. <3 And yeah, seriously, if the gods were taking names and kicking ass... they would've taken me out a LONG time ago.
Who are they gonna smite, the cute genie whose worst crime is dancing (and mmmmaybe a little spirit-summoning), or the damned fool apostate who's stood on a bridge and openly shouted "ALL GODS ARE BASTARDS (except antler mom)" at the sky while shaking her angry stripey fist? 😺
re: Woo (--), MH, Oblique US Pol
@zebratron2084 Very true again ♥️ Though I will admit that this genie is fully of the mind and intention of providing aid and comfort to you and yours. That might make me a bit of an accessory, but I can live with that ^.^
