Quote: Perhaps it's the other way around? Rather than coming up with the argument first and then writing about a god which they had just argued into existence, maybe they authors had an experience of god and then started reasoning about a being which they experientially KNEW existed.
Putting "perhaps" before a statement is not evidence that it is true...or even plausible. "Religion" in antiquity was a means of social control. In most of the islamic world it still is. The xtians lament the passing of those days.
