>>18005759Theism is thinly veiled metaphysics dumbed down for mass appeal. You don't just start dumping determinism and free will dialectics on poor peasants heads without them flipping you off and moving on with their lives. You boil it down to basics and then pack them into familiar colortful mythos for people to slowly digest on their own. This is why lots of actual believers are so ardent in their faith as they sense seed of truth or at least way to pursue it in whatever holy scriptures they've been peddled.
TL;DR Bearded man in the sky is akchually a good thing.
