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.
So you’re arguing a mix of Voltaire’s “If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.” and John Lennon’s “God is a concept by which we measure our pain”?
Yes, he didn’t exist until he was invented. 😁🫠

I miss Terry. Discworld should be read by everyone!

Don’t blame makind for that. It was necessary.
