   Which god? There are plenty of god myths, but no actual gods.

   Those people are too few to be a problem. Maybe you're just   
   imposing your own views on them?

   Why are they a problem? Just because they do not act in a way

   It seems that you found what you were looking for even though   
   it's not there.
