There are a fair number, most of whom are rather obscure and quite localised, such as the expatriate Fräulein whom you have correctly pointed out (original post below).
The Hell paymaster, Uncle Moneybags, is another being whose worship really only hit its stride as of late (from the 1980s and onwards); I would consider him as arguably the most widely prayed-to 'recent deity'.
Again nacht thanks for the clarification, certainly quite educational.
Another question, so we believe in reincarnation. And humanity has grown exponentially up to 7bil. Where does all these souls of humanity come from?
I was talking to a couple of friends about this topic the other day. An interesting thought came by us.
With the ever declining numbers of animal species due to humanity's desire to expand and reproduce, is there a conflict in the "factory" where human beings are reincarnated into?
My friend went one step further and said that
"You see, the reason we see so many human beings acting barbarically and evil is because those who are suppose to be reincarnated into animals are being push to be human beings because we reproduce too quickly."* We have been told that only those who have accumulated great karma and merits are being rewarded to be born human. I refuse to believe that in the current world situation we have 7billion and growing meritorious numbers of souls being churned out as human beings? The irony is that it actually lends more credit to my friend's theory above that some of these souls are not meant to be born human, but our reproduction rate has forced them to be born as one.
It is a far fetched idea and may offend people. But I think I wouldn't be the first or last to wonder about questions like this. If you have any takes on this, would appreciate it nacht.
