: Deep water here! It's acceptable to follow Nietzsche's veiw of the World as an artwork - if you subscribe to the belief that the World and the Cosmos have, indeed, an intelligent Maker and that they are the products of this Artist1s creativity. This Artist, like Its mortal counterpart, must then surely be an exploiter of accidents, a careless spiller of ink who then draws out of this randomness a semblance of Its own inherent Order.
I just finished this sci-fi book called terminal games. There's a virtual world in which a computer generated killer clown comes alive and inhabits the psyche's of the users of this virtual forum. There is a brilliant reference to the idea that Yahweh was for the early Jews a God very similar to Loki or the trickster or Prometheus. The archetype can probably be extended to include Shiva Hindu God/Goddess of creation and destruction.
