Agreed with Decanter there. If anything, I would tend to suspect that the "goddesses" are really just ascended mortals of some sort, and that ultimately the question of whether there is a true divinity (true as in the definition Simon and Sarai agreed on, being actually transcendent) will be left open. In that vein, if the Soul Shards really are the fragments of a divine being's soul, I would tend to think it would be a "god" as opposed to a true divinity.

But that raises another question, one that relates back to some of Robin's speculation. When discussing the possibility of the Mother existing in a parallel realm similar to the demon realm, she considered the relationships of the magic types. If we had those two realms, then she wondered where sexual magic fit into the picture. But if we have the "goddesses" and the lustlord as "divinities" for divine and sexual magic respectively, what about arcane magic? Although, in theory a sufficiently powerful greater demon could constitute an arcane god, especially since they have some degree of form even in the largely conceptual demon realm...
