Ah. Making the simple complicated.Any god? Or just the right one? In any way? Or are there just a few correct ways, or even only one? I sense a lot of rules coming down the pike. Like, the goat god that needs baby sacrifices? Hmm, no, that god's no good, right? But what if I insisted he were the ONLY god? Better? No?
Of course people have been doing it since forever. It's an artifact of ego, ignorance, and innate desire to see patterns and to anthropomorphize events in nature. We are basically hardwired to believe utter nonsense. That nonsense helped keep us alive, when we were living a subsistence existence with a 30 year lifespan, spending nearly all our waking hours acquiring food and keeping ourselves alive. The desire to live forever is just an artifact of our sentience. Our introspective self awareness.
