Once you've decided to place this god thingy above yourself you have to work hard to keep in on your side and avoid pissing it off at all cost. Nothing to joke around about once you've painted yourself into that corner.
Yep, like any good Ponzy scheme, once you start lying to yourself, it is easy to lie to others. Once you convince yourself, rather than admit you might be wrong, most humans try to sell what they were sold.
But, to be fair to my fellow humans, most humans no matter where they live in the world, get sold the myths of antiquity when they are kids long before they have a chance to actually think about it.
I can remember how angry I got at other kids who were older than me when they told me Santa wasn't real. I fought that for a while.
