Since humans can worship the emperor, or turn to the chaos gods, can they also worship the laughing god per-say?

Would humans even know of the laughing god?

Um, if they knew about Cegorach I don't see why not. Think it comes with being sentient and having free will and all that shenanigans.

Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

Humans can worship a toaster, if they want, doesn't mean the toaster will do anything for them.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.

If you ask the AdMech it will make toast better. Happy toaster makes happy toast

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

A human can worship Gork (or possibly Mork) for all the good it does him. A better question would be, can a human become an honourary Harlequin.

I think the answer must be yes, we know of at least two from canon, both Inquisitors. Some level of ritual respect to the Laughing God will have been required even though there werre at least in one case loyal to the Emperor.


n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

Absolutely. In fact mankind has a long history of worshiping just about anything regardless of how ridiculous it may be. It continues very strongly to this day.

Hmm. Is the worship of the toaster considered to be starch based heresy in the eyes of the flying spaghetti monster? (All hail his noodly appendages)

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

I wouldn't think so, since the starch is actually incidental and secondary to the toaster.

I have followed this advice. My toast has been a hundred times better since the worship started. All hail the toaster known as "Russell Hobbs Glass Touch 18366", he who can deliver two slices of toast and is black of colour!! He who can both toast and defrost bread!!

Sure, but he'd probably laugh at you.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

He probably laughs at everyone.
