It was one of the (many) people disagreeing with Devin, in fact. ;-)
This impinges on a discussion I was having with Sandy. I tend to take the view that you do: that POW sacrificed to you god isn't "gone", but rather, it's off to be with your god, been transferred to the Godplane, or whatever.
As a spin off of this view, I tend to think that if you're later subject to loss of all your "mundane" POW, you still may get to go to an appropriate theistic afterlife on the strength of this (or so it may be believed, at any rate). Obviously, loss of all POW would certainly prevent a ghost being formed, resurrection being carried out, etc.
Alex.
