To Gluk: Alright one clearification coming up...
Let's see, 'god' appeared to one group of humans in one form (lets say a wolf) and advised them how they should live and they worshiped him/her as that. Then a little later on(or around the same time), the same 'god' appeared to another group of humans only as a eagle and again told them how to live and those humans worshiped him/her as that.
The 'god' would take a form that would be most appealing to the present group and would cause the humans in question to be more comfortable with his/her words and advice.
What I am getting at is that a 'god' can take mulitple shapes and forms. Lets use one of my God characters for an example. Thunder Moon takes multiple forms, mainly of a chinese dragon and a tiger, because most of her subjects are dragon/dragon-like or cats. But if she so chooses she can be an eagle, griffin, whale, human, you name it. A god is not a being limited to one form...I remember in the bible (yes I did read some of it...) the christian god took the forms of pillar of fire, a bushing bush, and a cloud if I remember in the Old testement. It was only in the New Testement that He/She took the form of a human: Jesus.
I hope I cleared up my theory for you.
