I feel loved now

>Are gods a human creation, independant of them or always have existed?

As far as I'm concerned, they're a tool for self-contemplation. A very successful and useful tool. Their 'existence' isn't really that relevant, it's what they teach us that's important

would that in fact just be a mask for human phillosophy?

God worship and religion most of the time involves a moral and ethical system. Maybe is the self acknowledgement of human falibility and frailness that makes us put those values on a "superior being" as a way to make those said values valid

Also that means if a god dies, it means his whole flock or cultural system around him dies too (most probably the culture dies first)

>would that in fact just be a mask for human phillosophy?

Somewhat, yes, and a mask to cover up the mystery of existence

Anthropomorphic gods are a human creation. Any notion of god we have that applies humanlike characteristics onto him (he is moral, just, angry, fair-skinned, has a beard cuz he's old) are figments.

>Do you think is it possible for a group of people to pray/worship on unison for creating a god or is just mental sickness?
No, the notion of god is a very natural thing and by all means isn't necessarily ridiculous whatsoever.

>Is the death of a god possible?
Depends on a definition. Greek Gods could die, or at least be subdued and be brought close to death. The issue is that there's not any one definition of god (duh), which makes your questions hard to answer.

why mask the most important and powerful mystery of all? The answer to that question has yet even to be answered!

>inb4 conspiracy
if answered, a "secret" that big would be impossible to silence

God, as a concept I believe you are trying to express, is surelly a human creation and have no more power as other global concepts like money, nation or goodness. These concepts have big influence in our history because it's a cultural phenomena.

The concept of god tries to define either the origin of the existence or a ultimate ruler, who ''watches'' over us. As an agnostic I believe that the existence of such origin is highly possible and will never be completely understood by science nor by faith equally.
If such origin is conscious, like described in many religions, it's doubtful. If it cares about us it's even less probable.

I believe in spiruality and faith, although I think people should care more to reach their potential as a religious matter.

Because it's pretty embarrassing to be a priest king, have people come up to you with the question of existence itself just to hear "dunno lol"

This would mean that this global concepts need support to persist and exist. The money and nation examples are quite illustrative because we have micronations that are literal meme states that are recognized by a bunch of larpers around the world even if they fully believe it to be a proper nation, we also have currencies that have no real value on itself because they are either minted on madmen amounts with no real physical back up or have no buying power worldwide (like north korean cash).

Is an interesting concept, the need of a threshold of believers or supporters of an idea for it to gain prestige or validity.

It would disregard atheist cucks that say LOL I BELIEVE IN A FLYING MANATEE WHO IS SMART NOW TOUGH LUCK PAL because the flying manatee has no human supporter threshold for it to be valid.

It is still debatable what the threshold is and what other requirements (such as true non ironic belief on the spook you are trying to validate) is required

according to many pagan faiths Gods can indeed die. Many Norse pagans for example were willing to move on because they felt their Gods had indeed died and there was no point praying to them anymore.

as far as "creating" a god or whether Gods are tied to human worship/thought is another issue and largely more of an occult/metaphysical matter than anything that can be concretely answered.
hypotheticly Gods merely represent ideas, and in Hinduism for example the addition of "new" gods isn't a big deal since they are all ultimately part of the same unifying "self" as are all things in the universe. creating a new god in this respect is just giving form to energy and idea.

>people arguing about God/Gods in material rational terms

too many agnostic/athiest knobs here.

did they really died? Also neither of them were initially gods, maybe their deaths ascended them to godhood

He didn't say they were all the same god. He just said they all die in their own tale.

Most of us know Zeitgeist is bullshit but do you really think that Jesus Christ figure is free from religious syncretism' influence?
