I think Howard was trying to use Jesus as an example of someone who died, and still became a god. I think it's a poor analogy, since Vlad bears about as much similarity to Christ as Loiosh does to Mary Magdaline. But hey, it's a valid point that dying doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't get godhood. I just don't think it's going to happen. Majikjon
