A sincere waste of time. We do NOT have witches, ghosts, goblins, or any other fantasy organisms on this planet!
We have 300,000 insects, 20,000 birds, 90,000 animals, 189,000 known plants, probably 170,000+ bacteria, 100,000 viruses.
Why would we need another 5 or 10 or 1000 gods, angels, or whatever?
Let's stop talking about mythologies, other than as something that people USED TO BELIEVE IN! Now we don't need this, we need our minds to be occupied with those plants and animals we have on this planet, learn as much as we can about them, serve ALL of them as best human beings can serve, (including serving all humans first, even at the cost of a few animal and plant and bacteria and viral species)
WHY are we wasting time with mythical beings, or ancient mythologies concerning a few hundred or a thousand or two gods and angels and other singular human-like figures? Let's get on to the work we have before us before we use up the last 2 billion years of hydrocarbon fuels we have here on this planet, (fuel we will use up in 200-300 years at our current rate, yes, use up!)
