== Who coined the term ==
Who coined the term, and where is it used? I've read complaints -- possibly by Harlan Ellison -- of Gene Roddenberry overindulging in surrogate gods.--[[User:All Fish Welcome|All Fish Welcome]] 05:06, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

:I don't know where it came from, but I've heard this term used by a large number of [[Christian]] pastors. Typically they're talking about [[Santa Claus]], and more broadly, any being supposedly having certain abilities that resemble those of [[Greek]] gods or demigods.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 12:08, 19 April 2007 (EDT)
