Or is it because they are dead we do not discuss them anymore? The God of the bible has remained revelant for 5000 years for one reason. People know He is alive because He connects with them, not because the bible said so. What do you think people did for the thousands of years where they did not have personal access to the bible?
oh, bull shit
#1, the present form of your god hasn't existed for 5000 years. A simple Google search will tell you that:
A well-documented Wikipedia page with multiple sources Wrote:At a later period Yahweh functioned as the dynastic cult (the god of the royal house),[4] the royal courts promoting him as the supreme god over all others in the pantheon, notably Baal, El, and Asherah (the last of whom may have been his consort).[5] Over time Yahwism became increasingly intolerant of rivals, and the royal court and temple promoted Yahweh as God of the entire cosmos...
...With the work of Second Isaiah (the theoretical author of the second part of the Book of Isaiah) towards the end of the Babylonian exile (6th century BCE), the very existence of foreign gods was denied, and Yahweh was proclaimed as the creator of the cosmos and true God of all the world.
Nothing new there, but it shows yet again that your god is just like all the rest - morphing into something new over time; validating my original point.

#3, Reading the words of dead primitives and having one-sided conversations on your knees does not warrant a personal relationship with anything. It just means you're a gullible dolt. Ah-Puch is Jehovah. Admittedly, your god had a good run, but 200 years from now, the only people who will be worshiping that deity will be the fucktards who haven't yet studied history and accepted the fact that the religions of the world are just stupid.
