Default Re: About death and what happens after

I'm just wondering, as a means of celestial checks and balances if the dieties are held in reletive power dependant on the faith and number of their worshipers?

As an example, if Toran decreed one day to his paladins that Corath was to be destroyed, rather than mindlessly flailing paladins at a God in hopes that one special paladin of Destiny would lay low the evil tyrant 'ala 'LotR', would a more effective means of destroying a diety be to purge the land of all the dieties worshippers, destroying all temples, removing all referrance to said diety from all writings and then setting up some sort of guardianship ala 'The Mummy' with the Jhim Hradir (sp?).

A diety with no worshippers and no prescence in the collective consciousness of the masses (after several generations had passed) would be pretty powerless wouldn't you think?
