Every false-god killed in the 'normal' way just becomes a new false-god. E.g. when you resolve a fear, a new one takes it's place. The only way to kill all the false-gods once and for all is to kill god itself.

"Power" is the threat and ability to strip someone's god naked and shame it. Immunity to power is to have no gods. "Power" doesn't work on me if I'm willing to punch you until you die and suffer the consequences as long as I get that powerpoint in a different font."

Who are the wolves now? Look down at your hands. Why are they bloody?
