Why did we stop inventing gods?

The more empowered we become, and the more we can come to terms with the fact that we are alone -- the less god is needed, and the more independent humanity becomes.

Being taught that there is something Inherently wrong with you, ie: Indoctrinated worthlessness, helplessness, predestination, and codependency is a form of mental abuse, and until people learn to recognize it for what it is, we are stuck with "gods".

Yes...we are stuck with being gods learning how to be Gods.

Psalms 82:6
I said, "You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High.

John 10:34
Jesus replied, "Is it not written in your Law: 'I have said you are gods' ?

No, I want the actual source data. Don't change the subject.

And yeah. I am convinced of your Poe status at this point. I'm calling it, everyone.
You want a data source that convinces you modern pop culture society is obsessed with/worshiping celebrity/money/power?

And you had better explain "Poe status" or I will invoke Poe's law.
