The 6D world, often called heaven and hell by the denizens of the 3D worlds, are made up of several kingdoms, each built up around a greater or lesser god of some form or another. Some kingdoms have very close association with one 3D realm or another, others sit on their own interacting and concerning themselves only with the affairs of 6D beings. When a kingdom has influence over a 3D realm, the level of influence that they have will be reflected in the number of worshipers the king god of the kingdom has among the denizens of that world. The 3D realm that hosts the earth has had a particularly large number of deities who have attempted to gain influence over it, but over the course of the past few hundred years there is one god that has gained a controlling level of influence over the earth. Since obtaining this powerful lead over the other kingdoms, his direct interventions within the earth have decreased, and since his influence lowers the activity of the other god-lead kingdoms it has lead to several of the dwellers of the 3D plane on witch earth sits to begin doubting the existence of any gods at all.
The 6D world, often called heaven and hell by the denizens of the 3D worlds, are made up of several kingdoms, each built up around a greater or lesser god of some form or another. Not all celestial kingdoms concern themselves with the goings on of the 3D world. 3D beings are often viewed as a valuable resource for the power of celestial kingdoms, so this often leads to wars.


==The Abrahamic Religions==
It is common for the 3D followers of the celestial kingdoms to state that their patron gods created the universe. This is not the case, however. The world had existed before any of these deities arrived on the scene, and the attribution of the world's creation and the creation of humanity to these deities is purely an invention of these people to explain the world's existence. They couldn't explain the world's existence, so they decided to just say these powerful gods who they worship must have somehow created it.


The 3 Abrahamic Religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, collectively represent the kingdom with the greatest influence over the Earth.
==Celestial Domains/Kingdoms==


*[[God's Compensation/Lore/Abrahamic/Ethos|Ethos]]
A god's "domain" refers to anything that gives them power. All gods will gain power from 2 things at minimum, the number of worshipers or followers they have (regardless of whether they are 3D or 4D beings,) and the number of followers their vassals have. A god can also gain power from an additional source if they take special methods to bind themselves to something.

==The patron kingdom of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (Factual real-world evaluation)==


The human worshipers of the dominant god of the earth, a god who asserts his power by insisting that no one refer to him by anything other than his title of "God," and that all other gods not even be considered to exist, had grown so numerous that they split into three sects, each referring to their patron deity simply by the word in their own language that means "god."
==The Abrahamic Religions==


Each of these three major sects later grew into religions onto themselves that just so happened to have the same god. Although there are some differences in the way that each interprets their god's edicts given thousands of years ago, there are some major factors that remain the same between all three.
The 3 Abrahamic Religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, collectively represent the kingdom with the greatest influence over the Earth. It is lead by a god so audacious that he took the title of "god" as his name, and demanded that he only be referred to by his title. This bold move, however, proved itself to be warranted as today he is the most powerful god in the current 3D world to the point of having hegemony over the entire earth.


'''-Reproduction Vs. Discipline'''
This "God" is the patron god of the family of Abraham. He gains additional power for every living decedent of Abraham, those who are ethnically Jewish. As such, while there are now 3 major world religions in worship to him, he has a special place in his heart for the Jewish people.


Perhaps the single most curious thing about the practices of these three religions is the paradoxical marrying of edicts that encourage prolific reproduction along side edicts that encourage modesty and conservative behavior. The combination of these two practices seems to have lead to a situation that maximized the survival rate of the children, thus maximizing the real growth rate of the population despite the slightly lower birth rate compared to other cultures.
*[[God's Compensation/Lore/Abrahamic/Additional details|Additional details]]


'''-Laws governing sex'''
==The fallen gods==


The laws in these cultures governing sex are quite clear, no sex outside of a committed long-term relationship. This is a law to ensure the woman and her children are provided for.
Many other gods once reigned over the earth, but have now become little more than a foot-note in history. Most of the major controlling deities have been more or less cut off from having access to the earth. In particular, Zeus and his pantheon that once ruled over the area of Greece no longer has any contact with earth. Odin's kingdom had broken contact for a while, but it is starting to set down some roots again and gain worshipers in some minor populations. There is also the sexually promiscuous pagan religions overrun by fertility gods and goddesses witch gained back some ground in the 1960s after having been completely stamped out in the 1500s.


'''-Laws governing women's sexuality'''
The only major kingdoms that managed to retain anything even resembling their former glory before Yahweh took over the planet are Vishnu of the Hindu religion witch has a localized hold in India, and the Jade Emperor of the large bureaucratic kingdom of the Shinto Religion which used to have a large presence in China before it got overtaken by the forced atheism of the Chinese Communist party and is now sharing an equal stake of Japan along side the Christian presence there.


As a counter-measure to make sure the laws regarding a husbands support for the woman are not exploited, there are also several laws in these cultures governing a woman's sexuality to make sure she does not have a child with a man other than her husband. Some manifestations of these laws are more overbearing than others.

*[[God's Compensation/Lore/Norse|Norse]]
*[[God's Compensation/Lore/Shinto|Shinto]]

'''-Laws regarding polygamy'''

*[[God's Compensation/Lore/Sumerian|Sumerian]]


The laws regarding multiple wives are quite clear, a man can have any number of wives so long as he can financially provide for every single wife and the children that result from that marriage. The laws regarding multiple husbands are equally clear, it is simply not allowed at all. There is one exception to this edict on multiple wives, and that is that the practice of polygamy is discouraged within Christianity. It is not outright prohibited, it is just suggested that it is not a good idea.
==Other minor gods==
 
'''-Laws regarding child sexuality'''
 
In regards to sex with children, the law is that a boy may not take a wife to have sex unless he has completed his education. In ancient times, this used to be age 13. More recently, the bulk of education has been increasing and so this greatly delays the age at witch a boy can become married.
 
For girls, a girl may not be taken as a bride until she starts menstruating. Those are the extent of the religious laws governing young girls and sex, but society has tacked on additional age restrictions. In Christianity, it is held that their god re-enforces the law of the land where it does not conflict with his own laws. Since he has only issued a minimum age limit and has not outright declared that girls absolutely are sexually available at that age, it is within this notion to say that he also discourages sex with children. On the other hand, in Islam, there are stories about their prophet's young wife that resonates within their culture witch has kept the marriage age for girls low in their society.


==El/God/Allah's interpretation (Fictional world)==
Aside from the fallen gods, there are also a few minor gods and demigods that never had much of a following to begin with. Before Yahweh's takeover, they used to be able to find a small community of followers usually about the size of a small tribe or village of 30-100 people. Now days, there are still some who are able to do this but they are having a much harder time of it.


After having taken control of most of the earth, the god, Yeaweh, who does not like his name being used by his worshipers, began to take less and less direct intervention in the 3D world. His ruling that he would hold true any law of the land that does not contradict with his own law was originally meant for his followers of the time who were living under Roman subjugation to not rock the boat too much in order to avoid being slaughtered, but after issuing that edict he managed to win over the Roman emperor to be his worshiper and worship of him spread throughout the earth. After this happened, he began using that edict as more of a reason to start becoming less directly involved with the world rather than as a binding agreement to enforce every rule his worshipers came up with.
The most notable among the former minor gods are the animal gods of the Native American tribal religions.
 
Anything regarding his original edicts about sexual conservatism, especially in regards to a man supporting the mother of his children, will still be notions he would enforce if it came down to him intervening. However, in regards to child brides, he would not care about that issue so much so long as the girl is being treated well. However, if she is being abused then he will likely use the human hang-up about sex with children as an excuse to justify his intervention.
 
Yeaweh is particularly unlikely to intervene in Christian dominant areas, the U.S. and Europe in particular, due to the fact that the United States holds freedom of religion in high regard and most of the other Euro-Christian nations have un-officially adopted this policy in terms of public sentiment, even if it is not written into law. He has taken this as a signal that he should be a little more hands-off with those regions. Those areas are mostly patrolled by his angels who occasionally intervene when some major issues come up. Rival gods are free to operate in these areas, although they are rarely able to gain any real influence. This lack of any success among rival gods to gain influence in these territories has further assured him of his lack of need to pay attention to these areas.
 
==The fallen gods==
 
Many other gods once reigned over the earth, but have now become little more than a foot-note in history. Most of the major controlling deities have been more or less cut off from having access to the earth.

All gods will gain power from 2 things at minimum, the number of worshipers or followers they have (regardless of whether they are 3D or 4D beings,) and the number of followers their vassals have.

Aside from the fallen gods, there are also a few minor gods and demigods that never had much of a following to begin with.
