This is the belief that each tribe or people has its own god, local to a particular territory and responsible for the well-being of its own people. In Hebrew scriptures, these gods are depicted as fighting against one another when the tribes go to war."To me, this reminds me of mascots. The wolverine is the god of University of Michigan (*snip* please no speculation on the nature of real-world religions.  Instruction is all right, so the thread is still staying but speculation is not -- Dinkeldog).</blockquote>
