I think the Tulpa/Pagan theory is interesting, but I would like to point out that Prayer doesn't have any affect on the pagans, they take power from Sacrifices, if it was purely prayer they would be dead by now, because no one worships alot of them any more. As for Atropos and her sisters, perhaphs being under heavens employ gave them a bit of a boast.

Like you said its another debate, but I would question most things he said, as its made clear in the episode the powers drove him insane.
