Feel like God would have fit this sentiment better. There’s a decent amount of historical evidence for Jesus himself to my understanding (not the supernatural stuff attributed to him so much, but moreso that there was a guy the various stories were based off of). But an actual benevolent diety would probably make for a more pleasant world than what we have to deal with, probably why so many people care so strongly about the idea and want to believe it I’d imagine.
Have you read the bible? God is an unhinged maniac. He told people to cut their dick skin off, threatened zombies, OK’d slavery, drowned everyone because they were partying too hard, set everyone on fire because they were partying too hard, told women to obey men, tortured his #1 fan for funzies, called Israel a whore who sold herself to big-dicked Egyptians, non-consentually impregnated some guy’s wife, killed the kid, then brought the kid back to life, made a guy eat bread cooked over burning shit for I think a year? Told Adam and Eve to make incest babies and turned us all into incest babies, made an awesome fruit tree no one’s allowed to touch, let the Jews make soulless clay monsters, gave his angels an extra set of wings just to cover their genitals, which I think means angels can fuck.
Idk I think without the new testament, the Bible is kind of a drag. I like the idea of redemption much more than an unknowable, complicated, emotionally volitile sky-god. And when I refer to Jesus I mean the Christ who died and came back to life to fulfill the prophesy. I’m sure there was at least one rabbi named Jesus out there, but without the metaphysical (fictional) stuff I quickly lose interest.

So yeah. I’m down with bringing God IRL.

Killing all those kids when their parents didn’t blood-paint their doors should have been a major red flag. We keep him out of schools for a reason.
