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”?
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.
That follows from D.
Yes, he didn’t exist until he was invented. 😁🫠
Don’t blame makind for that. It was necessary.

I miss Terry. Discworld should be read by everyone!
