There is NO GOD, JUST AN INVENTION BY SAD LONELY MEN. They invented Biblical ManGod 🤷🏾‍♀️

11. The ancient folks were onto something with the panoply of gods

Their gods were whimsical and capricious and each governed one aspect of life. With dozens of gods, there were dozens of temples and competing groups of priests/priestesses and the power of the clergy was limited by that.

Monotheism was introduced by the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten and spread in various forms from there. His priesthood grew fat and arrogant and people missed their accessible gods. When he died, much of the evidence of his reign was stricken and Egypt quickly reverted to their old system. His son, Tutankhamen, died young and there is some evidence he was buried in the antechamber of his mother's tomb, a humiliating end despite the bling Howard Carter found in there.

The Riddle of Epicurus points out the major problem with any monotheistic system. He didn't point out the problem a powerful clergy competing with civil government could be. The only alternative to that is theocracy, and those tend to be brutal, especially to women and children, no thanks.

Life is a gamble and no one is more superstitious than your average gambler. People are going to believe in unseen forces, spirit worlds, and gods no matter what. This old atheist will be perfectly happy to see the desert war god dead and buried and a reversion to the numerous small gods who gave people a better illusion of comfort, safety, and occasional help and the sharply reduced power of clergy that goes along with them.
