Making deity shrines in Minecraft and the Sims is really underrated tbh. 

I remember a while back it was super popular, but then people came out of the woodwork to shit on it and say shit like, “if you have time to waste on games, you have time to ‘actually’ devote to your gods,” and it was such bullshit. 

Taking time to create something is a valid and valuable offering. Doesn’t really matter if it’s virtual.

And, shit, if you want to talk about sacrifice, including a lava pit as part of a Minecraft shrine and sacrificing diamonds? Good-ass offering.

My experience has been whenever someone makes a shrine online or in a game (or in some other intangible way) someone shows up to shit on it because it’s not “real” and “actual shrines require effort” like have they ever tried to build anything in a game like Minecraft it can take a ton of resources and time that someone devotes specifically to their deities, ancestors, or other entities.
