The more Harry pored over the texts, the more it worried him. Harry felt that his life, ever since the birth of his twins, is being dragged into divinity. And that did not bode well, no it did not at all. The religions touted safety in the afterlife, but at the sacrifice of safety in life. Harry wanted to be safe in both life and the afterlife; for it to be normal.
Divinity differed greatly from normalcy. Divinity is all about a one time large payment in the afterlife, while normalcy is about many small payments received throughout life. Normalcy is about getting feedback, while divinity gets no feedback until after you die. Those that pursue divinity always have an irregular, strained existence. Harry wants to overrule the divine with normalcy.
The list of religious founders did not comfort Harry; as they all had crazy violent existences, while others are completely unaccounted for and shrouded in mystery.
There are the Abrahamic prophets, or as Harry would rename them, the Harry prophets. Jesus: crucified. Moses: exiled. Mohammed: war. Joseph Smith: mobbed. None had peaceful, normal lives. Then there are the saints, where one after another met a violent end. Why couldn't they have safe lives, as well as make their religious mark? To be normal.
Whenever angels purport to show up, disaster strikes. And this is personal for Harry, because for one he speaks parseltongue, the language of snakes, angels, and demons. And the second, is that he still remembers the broken wings during the birth of the twins. Something divine is attempting to make its way into his life, and he needs to sabotage it and overrule it with normalcy.
One method that Harry is thinking up is changing religious figures to anyone's name. Anyone could insert their name to replace a divine name. That is normalcy. It is normal to change a name to fit in. So why shouldn't religious people change their names to fit in. If worse goes to worse, and Harry becomes a divine figure, he can always spread his name to the majority of religious texts, claiming credit of them. Surely someone will re-write his texts or laugh it off.
Right now he is on the offensive, and is busy renaming religions in his name, and giving his twins ridiculous names. This is an attempt to normalize the divine. As soon as people start taking his Bible and Koran branding seriously, he will expand his branding to other religions, consuming them all.
Harry wants it all. If Harry is to become a divine figure, why not be The divine figure, and rename 51% of the saints, prophets, and so on Harry? Harry is grounding himself, to avoid the insanity that comes with divine figures historically.
Harry is busy reading the Dinosaur Religion. "This isn't such a bad idea. If something bad is about to happen to me, why not dilute it through time. Sure, overall it is worse, but if I dilute it enough through time, it will become but an annoyance. A consistent annoyance. Like having my name quoted in the Bible or the Koran or whatever religion I infect. It will become nothing but an annoyance." Harry is diluting the fame of his name through various religions. All to avoid becoming divine, but to be normal. To do what anyone could do; copy and replace. Harry wants it all: all the followers of divinity, and all the benefits of normalcy. If Harry is to become divine and get followers, he will be divine in the most grounded way; by doing what anyone else can do. He will overrule the divine, and thus have it all with normalcy.
Normalcy has incremental feedback, and Harry intends for his followers and him to get incremental feedback from the afterlife. And not rely on the blind trust of a one time payment that is divinity; only finding out once it is too late to change anything.
Harry is satisfied with his research, but looks at the clock on the wall and notices that it is Sunday morning. He had read through the texts all through the night.
Harry hurries off the the Great Hall where breakfast is being served, and sits down next to Draco.
"Harry, you look like such a mess."
"Sorry, I was busy reading up last night. Potions and all. By the way Draco, why don't you put your name in the religious texts. I am trying to take up 51%, but the rest of the 49% is up for grabs? Hmmmmm?"
Harry leaned in to Draco, his wild hair sprouting in all directions, before then taking a large bite out of bacon and eggs.
"Er, no thanks, maybe later. I just don't think it is a good fit at the moment."
"Suit yourself. But remember, you can always recant your involvement. Whenever you feel unsafe, just retreat and drop your commitment. Honestly, I think that is the only normal thing in these divinity books, how safety is the utmost importance in the after life. I want my followers to have safety as the top priority in their mind. We can have both safety in life and safety in the afterlife. We can have both, we can have it all. I want religious followers so that I am safer in the afterlife, while I want to normalize religions in life to make being a faithful believer safe in life. I want religious believers to be both safe in life and in the afterlife. I don't want them to have to wait until they are dead to reap their safety. I want them to have constant feedback, of normalcy, of being safe in life."
Harry then went back to his food.
"And about the charity camps. The camps you are setting up so that people will think that you are a god. What plans do you have for that?"
Harry finished gulping down his bacon, before taking a big sip of orange juice and a big bite out of the pancakes.
"Well, I was thinking. You know how in our astrology, the aliens on other planets have terrible lives, way worse off than us?"
"It's a constant worry of many of our star gazers. Once they discover Earth, we will be besieged."
"Well, why not have an exchange set up. We accept some of their well off immigrants, and in return they accept our aid workers. In time, these aid workers can set up permanent camps in those starry hellholes. My camps will be about discipline, normal things. While other camps can be about the divine. But I hope to out compete with the divine camps, and replace them with mine. I want to create an intergalactic order off my discipline camps; an order that normalizes situations, especially divine situations. To make things safer. One where an intergalactic organization will be founded off of it, like the Red Cross, but centered around overruling religious organizations."
"You are really suspicious about religions, aren't you."
"They are always, and will always be, the exception. The common theme with them is their concern for safety in the after life. I want to drag them down into normalcy."
Hermione then walked in, carrying a large black bible.
"Religions are Old magic. Even muggles can do it. But that doesn't make it any less dangerous."
"Or annoying" as Heermione sat down. "So Hermione, why aren't you using my Harrified bible?"
Hermione just looked askance at him "muggles wouldn't fall for it."
Harry intoned in, "I don't know, a lot of wizards think that my victory over Voldemort was divine. So you never know."
