Thought I'd post this here on the chance that I may get more of a response here than elsewhere. Though it's probably one of the hardest questions about the universe.

So....

What is greater than a god (or a pantheon of gods)?

I did a free write (lj private entry, although some parts of it is floating around on my friends entries from my dream) after I was done reading Till We Have Faces (CS Lewis). When I was done, that was the basic question I found leftover. What is greater than a god? What will not play the same games as at least most European and Middle Eastern based gods do, the games with who is damned and who isn't, mortals as objects to be raped and mislead, and other such things? (It's still somewhat popular to enforce the damnation thing here. At the student union some weeks ago, two people, who looked like students, were holding up signs next to each other. One was about following Jesus and not the church. The other was how you're going to Hell if you aren't a believer.)
