Same thing - but instead of your dog - you say it' s an invisible man who created the universe - your neighbors will all pitch in and buy you a building so you can tell everyone about it. Tax free.
Conclusion: people are dangerously stupid.
but what gives the dog authority to command such things?
I think you think followers will follow anything they do not understand and make it a god. honestly the only place i see this is outside the church. Ie people who dress up in costumes and ride very specific types of vehicles together. or people who want to believe the earth in one shape and not the other, or people who worship climate change as if they had control over it or again people who worship their own knowledge (the sciences) as it were a never changing all knowing God.
Compare that with the people who worship the God of the bible. there maybe be only 1 or 2 changes from the very beginning. (1000s of years no matter how you splice it.)
