Who's an atheist?
Jun. 13th, 2008 08:58 amA while back, I had an interesting online discussion about whether the supernatural and Doctor Who are antithetical (triggered by this article and featuring no less eminences than ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angriest and mondyboy, among others). I'm now writing up the thoughts prompted by that discussion into an autobiographical essay on my relationship with atheism, and I have a couple of questions for the Whovians among my readers:
What stories can you think of that contain references to God, the Devil, or other supernatural beings? "The Daemons" and "The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit" come immediately to mind, for instance. Are there any more?
There have been numerous mentions of the Doctor being a lonely god in recent series (not to mention the very Christ-like ending of season three). I haven't had the time to go back and watch all the episodes to see when they occur. Does anyone out there have an encyclopaedic knowledge of this kind of thing to save me having to, like, research? :-)
