Who Said This Is the Real God?
Question
With God’s help
Maybe the God who created the world also has a creator, and only the final creator has no creator?
Answer
Indeed. And Macbeth wasn’t written by Shakespeare either, but by his cousin, who was also called Shakespeare.
God is the ultimate creator. It really doesn’t matter if he created other gods along the way who created the world.
Discussion on Answer
No. You worship the one from whose power you came. If it turns out there are others along the chain and they appear before us, then maybe there would be room to discuss obligations toward them (like parents). Right now, one has appeared before us and informed us that he is the original one.
It does change whom you worship. If he created gods with free will, then seemingly the god who created us is the one who obligates us, not that first one.
