Of course not! That's not what I said at all. But what difference if I do say it? I've said things like that all my life. They're endemic to the American language. But just because I say, "God damn it!" doesn't mean I believe he will.

Your post stated that just believing in gods make them real, did it not?
if you believe in a God then he/she exists.
Now you seem to be saying that just speaking the word, God or Goddess, makes him or her real. But which god/goddess? Thor? Hera? Venus? Jehovah? There's four more I've spoken aloud. I'll expect Xmas cards from all of them.

So:
Was there really any need for that irrelivant question?
Perhaps my question wasn't irrelevant after all? If just believing it can make it true, then faith can, indeed, move mountains. And my mother can, indeed, be a goddess.
