So for the sake of a thought experiment:
in this thought experiment B or C or both is the case:
what is the best course of action?
comply with regulations and hope to get on the good side or suffer the consequences of the alternative
worship doesn't require benevolence. fear keeps people in line just as well.
pretty sure thats the case for many religious people. telling you the god isn't "good" would upset the rules, so why would they
I don’t know. At this point I’m leaning toward C.
Me too, but only because I very strongly lean toward "god was created by man" rather than the other way around.
It's all a test. If you can't put up with horrible shit while being alive, how you gonna become an angelic slave and sing happy songs for eternity?
E. Invented by humans

Yes, he didn't exist until he was invented. 😁🫠
In one of the Discworld books there are two gods. One is the mighty Thunderer, who has temples all over the vast Empire. The other is a Frog God worshipped by a tribe of about fifty people in a swamp. When they have a fight the Frog knocks the other guy out, because nobody really believes in the Thunderer and the Frog's people have strong faith in him.
I miss Terry. Discworld should be read by everyone!
