Is Mac God?
raidem:
We have Griffyn612 theory that Mac is a transubstantiated Raphael. Considering the same evidence that Gryffyn puts forth for Mac to be Raphael, I'll put forth for him being God.
So, do we have evidence that precludes Mac from being God? What does it mean to be God within the Dresdenverse. Definition of DF God: ?.
We know that Mac creates "God's brew". And He is often described as downright Angelic.
If Mac is indeed some projection of God, then it makes more sense that he was more of a target in Cold Days with the Outsider attack on Demonreach than we believed. And Harry brought him there. Mac couldn't compromise mortal free will, therefore he followed. The attack on Demonreach with Mac upon the island then isn't possibly as much about destroying the island, releasing the sleepers, etc but doing away with God's projection within this reality. I don't think it would really 'hurt' God so much but it could cause a wrinkle in the balance of power for a moment. We now know per WOJ that God has commanded Outsiders to remain outside of Creation, outside of the Sandbox he has given us. However, he has given creation this sandbox, given mortals free will, so if we are going to wreck this creation by bringing in the void (Outsiders), then that is on us.
--- Quote ---A: Almighty isn't really about determining the order of the universe. He isn't a GM. He made us a sandbox game and then let us decide how to play it, and mod it.
Now He's already told those forces, 'stay out of my sandbox' and they do. But He's also gives us the sandbox. And if we want to invite them in to screw it all up, well. The void is still there. Waiting.
--- End quote ---
I think even if God has settled on allowing Us to choose our Fate, I wouldn't put it past him to place a transubstantiated form in play of himself. And who better for this form to be than a bartender making God's brew, interacting with a Starborn that will likely be the deciding factor in the Fate of the Universe/Multiverse.
raidem:
Is there a good thread on Mac out there that I can borrow from. I don't feel like going through and gathering all the heavenly references to Mac or his brew. I found one. Just linked a prior thread that hit upon much of the discussion.

Check out this thread for New WOJ's on God, Lucifer, and the argument between the two.

These WOJ's would have relevance to Mac should he be a projection/transubstantiated form of God.
Essentially, God considers his job done with respect to having given us the sandbox of creation. It is up to us to keep it. So, given this, I think God sees his role limited with respect to Outsiders, he has already commanded them to remain outside of the Sandbox but he has given us free will so if mortals open up a way for Outsiders to come in that is on us. I could see God step in and take a transubstantiated form in pivotal times to take actions that he wouldn't be able to take as God.
Rasins:
Mac is not the White God. Mac is a retired member of Merlin's inner circle. He's the Beeromancer of the group. Used to be a big partier, but now just likes to watch others have fun.
Snark Knight:
I don't see it. That maenad in the short story really put one over on Mac. It's one thing for him to respect mortal free will, but I don't see Mac letting a supernatural being mess with him like that if he had omniscience and omnipotence going for him.
