If my kid wrote a story as sick and twisted as those religious texts, sure, I'd bring the kid to therapy or a mental hospitial depending on how demented they may be, you're going to sit there and say you'd do nothing about it?. If it's just a kid being a kid and he's not serious or the made up god-story isnt that sick, no biggie, but if the kid generally believes that they heard voices in his head and went schizo or formed some another mental illness from religion (which happens a lot) or the kid thought human/animal sacrifice was ok, women can be honor raped in the right context, and human slavery is ok etc... then it's time for the kid to get a wake up call and get some help. Ok, you find this stuff more normal because you made up gods with your friends and it was probably harmless.. but this goes beyond storytelling and you should know that.
