So let's look at Pavis then. We agree he is a god (yes?). I don't think he was born a god. (do you?) So it looks to me like there was a transition in there somewhere. Did worship have anything to do with
that transition? ( I would claim that the transition would have been much
more difficult without worship).

I'm a resident of the U.S. of A, something which (IMO) qualifies as a fantasy.
Do it's laws have no moral force because they were not handed down on stone
tablets?
