That is really thought provoking. I have never thought of it quite in that way. Have you always had this perspective or has it developed over time?
It eroded over time with little milestones or moments of "oh that makes a lot more sense" along the way. I grew up Catholic, and by the time I was making confirmation, I knew that wasn't quite right. I tried "being saved" for a very short while, that made even less sense. Eventually I had to face the fact, I couldn't just 'believe' it any more. It's not quite as dramatic as that sounds, it was pretty liberating and gave my life and the life of everyone around me a lot more 'significance' to use an imprecise word!
The reason I'd say a pentheon of gods makes more sense (but again, is still not real), is because those gods didn't give one fig about humans, and their understandably human emotions (because they were imagined by humans!) saddled them with the propensity for desires and pettiness and feuds, feuds that would inevitably cause some sort of disaster (a flood, a tidal wave, an earthquake). These phenomena cost people their lives or livelihoods, and you just had to suck it up and figure "Well, that's how it goes." THe "has a plan" version of a monotheistic god, the kind many Christians subscribe to, would imply that he plans for stuff like the tsunami killing a quarter million sri lankans, or Covid killing millions around the world, which doesn't square with the other purported properties or traits of that god. THe greeks ouwld say "Well, Poseidon and Hades were having a shit fit, and that caused a giant wave." The Christian says "Our loving god wiped out thos esri lankans because gay marriage, isn't our god awesome??" That's why I would say the pantheon is more sensible, if that was your question.
