lol it was sarcasm but i forgot people here cant take a joke <| sep |> Very cool analysis . However , from reading GRRM ' s SciFi I strongly question whether any of the godlike figures in ASOIAF are gods in the traditional sense . GRRM ' s SciFi has godlike entities appearing in one of two forms . The first are collective consciousnesses , which in each case have taken the form of a central mind that can only interact with the world through telepathicallycontrolled agents . The second are essentially technocrats with access to incomprehensibly advanced technological capabilities , giving them the effective abilities that we traditionally associate with Godhood . Examples of the former exist in A Song for Lya , The Guardians , The Sand Kings , and The Men of Greywater Station . The most prominent example of the latter is Haviland Tuf in the final couple stories in Tuf Voyaging . I ' m working very slowly on an essay series exploring this in greater detail , but I think there ' s strong evidence of the existence of both types in ASOIAF . He may be drawing on themes of CatharZoroastrian dualism with R ' hllor the Great Other , and from other religions in respect to the more polytheistic dynamics . However even if this is the case , I strongly believe that any such God isn ' t actually a deity in the traditional sense .
