-As gods are technically unique monsters that do not appear at all, casting [[stone to flesh]] on any statue of a god will produce a [[doppelganger]] in the form of a god with that statue's name - this is the closest a player will ever get to fighting one, and a doppelganger in the form of a god is not guaranteed to remain in that form for long.
+As gods are technically unique monsters that do not appear at all, casting [[stone to flesh]] on any statue of a god will produce a [[doppelganger]] in the form of a god with that statue's name&mdash;this is the closest a player will ever get to fighting one, and a doppelganger in the form of a god is not guaranteed to remain in that form for long.
 Despite the potential damage output, their high [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]] of 77 and assortment of resistances, an actual god would not be much more difficult to face than the likes of [[demon lord]]s such as [[Baphomet (dNetHack)|Baphomet]]: their low 7 speed and lack of [[covetous]] abilities make kiting a very viable strategy, rendering them potentially easier to face in comparison.

 A god or deity is a supernatural being considered to be divine or sacred. One commonly accepted definition of a god is "a being with powers greater than those of ordinary humans, but who interacts with humans, positively or negatively, in ways that carry humans to new levels of consciousness, beyond the grounded preoccupations of ordinary life".
-In addition to the {{white|7}} glyph representing lawful angels and similar beings, the numbers 7 and 77 occur repeatedly within the statline of the dNetHack god - this is because 7, 77 and 777 are considered to be of religious significance in Abrahamic religions, as well as other folklore and spiritual practices: examples include the seven heavens and seven gates of hell in Islam, the Seven Deadly Sins and their variations, and the Seven Lucky Gods in Japanese folklore. In Judaism and Hebrew tradition, the numbers 3 and 7 are both considered "perfect numbers"; 777 (three sevens) is also said to represent the Christian Trinity of the Father (God), the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. Additionally, groupings of seven occur frequently throughout the Old Testament and New Testament of the Bible, with a few examples listed below:
