A group of scholars who used to meet at the library at Bates College, Maine, realized, in order to explain historical events and human behavior, there had to be many unnamed deities who had never been documented. Indigenous people have their deities, and each religion has at least one, and pagan cultures have theirs, but to explain wars, crimes, and heavy metal bands, there had to be deities that had not been documented. They realized that no known deities could be responsible for the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci and the horrors of the holocaust, so they began to restore what was lost and to document the deity behind each work of genius and each unaccountable act. They used numerology, an ouija board, and a tarot deck to come up with their names, They were modest enough to admit that the names they chose were not likely to be the names that the deities used for themselves, but unless a deity appeared to help them with the naming process, they felt free to name them as they pleased. They debated furiously whether De Vinci was assisted by one deity or many. Since his accomplishments spanned art, anatomy, botany, engineering, and architecture, there could be at least five. They also debated, in particular cases, whether the responsible deity was a god or a devil. Clearly, many events of human history had to be guided more by devils. They started documenting the essential attributes of each of them on a website they named dieties.edu. Many of these deities went viral. The only problem was they identified so many devils and gods, they’ve been working on them for years and they’re still not done.
