Tbh right, in the last year or two I’ve come to accept that there is an absolute religious continuity from ancient paganism to the newest mainstream ones (e.gChristianity and islam). It might be a vague connection at times but you can see pretty clearly how one story or one ritual became different as a culture moved into a new age or a new area.
The words “Zeus,” and Deus and Jupiter all come from the same root word.
Every religion has a flood story
Religious texts reflect on the old faiths that their founders were raised in, or those worshipped by them around them
Anyway why am I saying all this? Well, I don’t know if God would actually go "You need to make a new religion. It tends to be "you need to fix the current religion, take control of it.
EDIT: I should have read ahead to see just how silly this greentext actually is before I engaged with it as a serious idea, lol.
And the difference between polytheistic religions and Christianity is that instead of having a god of archery and a god of prostitutes, Christianity has a patron saint of archery and a patron saint of prostitutes. Totally different!

Yea, the flood story here is being flooded with semen

The deus thing - isn’t that a product of etymology?
As for the flood - possibly it’s featured in many religions because it was a real event
