How do you know Thor isn't the cause of lightening?
How is it you rightfully reject that?

Sorry buddy, NOBODY in antiquity had any damned clue as to the modern scientific knowledge we have today.
Human psychology explains now why humans make up these god/deity claims. They are ALL MERELY a reflection of human qualities in comic book form.
That was then, this is now. If you can rightfully reject claims of Thor, or Allah or Vishnu, then it should not be that hard for you to understand why I reject one more god claim than you do.
I am sorry it bothers you that I don't give your pet flavor of deity a pass, but that is your baggage, not mine.
Are you appealing to modern scientific knowledge as your reason. Because I would concentrate on that as an answer to the question. What is this modern scientific knowledge, that gives you reason to believe your statement (which I've been asking about).
I don't think that trying to redirect the conversation is helping you.
