It is interesting that every time archaologists dig something up they label it a god.
I can imagine that in the future salt and pepper sets made in the shape of animals or people will be declared gods by someone who digs them up. More than that they will say that they dispensed incense or something.
Lawn gnomes and 1950s yard flamingoes will be the gods we worshipped as they write their long tomes about us.
Look, these people worshipped the great Flamingo god at one point but then, suddenly and unexplicably his worship fell out of favor and they began worshipping small funny little god in a pointed hat. His statues were worshipped in gardens and front lawns of homes until , just as quickly as the Flamingo god , he too was relegated to obscurity. What a fickle people they must have been!
Here is the great Flamingo Religious holiday! Everything pink and spiffy for the honor of the great Flamingo god!"Oh, how did they ever lose site of these wonderful traditions?
When did it fall into disfavor and the happy sound of Merry Flamingo Day become disparaged?" is what the text books of the future will say.
"People sent one another Merry Flamingo cards and decorated their dwellings with pink fairy lights and pink tulle, pink glitter and all things Flamingo pink!"the book will declare.
"Pink foods were eaten and special music played to honor the day of the Flamingo".
Actually, it would make a rather pretty holiday wouldn't it?
