Well I hate to break the news to you but there have been theists (and atheists) around for longer than the bible. Abraham didnt have a bible to read and so the beer goggles thing doesnt apply to him.
Like I said in reply to your question...If the first people who postulated an invisible friend were right, then why are you not worshiping their god? I agree with your premise about the first people.
I am worshipping their God. And they didnt have a bible.
No libraries in the Garden of Eden.
There's no evidence that Abraham and that lot are anything but a fairytale, so your point is irrelevant. As to you "worshipping their god" when Brian was on about the first god, is wrong. The Babylonian gods had come before yours was even retconned to monotheism, and it's a rip off from Zoroastrianism. Your particular mythology was not the first and it definitely isn't the last.
