My point above is more historical than theological. I haven't read Neuropath. Does that book make some similar points? I know he's got a complicated and dark sci-fi/fantasy theology worked out, so there are bound to be parallels.

But I'm not talking so much about orthodox Hinduism in this article. My point is more general. It's about the idea of a God within as a state of consciousness, which you find in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. And one implication of that is the split between orthodox and unorthodox forms of Eastern worship, between religion that's friendly to social conventions and religion that subverts them. I'm merely mapping that onto the point that psychopathic human rulers functioned as gods (of the second type) and were worshiped. <br /><br />If you think I'm misrepresenting Hinduism, though, I'd be grateful for your criticisms.
