Almost like God isn’t real and was made up by humans to control people.
I’m sure it wasn’t made to control people, I think it was made to explain stuff they didn’t understand and became a tool of control later
You don’t say?
What if He was just a meme that got out of control?
What if God was one of us?
Just a memer on a bus
If you read the old testament in particular, god never denies the existence of other gods, only that he’s the best one. Yahweh was actually just one god in an ancient pre Jewish pantheon. He was like Dionysus, a god of harvest and wine and rebirth. Different tribes had different chief gods, but all accepted the existence of the others. Just happened over time that the people who worshipped Yahweh were the only ones left and it became a monotheistic religion.
I’m sure back in the day, those gods were more similar to Greek gods, flawed and monstrous, and entities to fear. That’s why the old testament god is such a psychopath.
