16. Imaginary battles are imaginary.

Nothing to do with me, so I think I'll ignore them. Actually, since they're imaginary, I really have no choice.

The Greeks and Romans had a much better deal. Their gods were always arguing with each other, and are said to have shown up and interacted with lowly humans. I think they all died, though, long ago, so...

Then there are the Hindu gods, and boy are there a lot of those. But, nobody's seen them, either, as far as I know.

The human imagination can come up with almost anything, it seems, and often does.
