I had a discussion recently where one was upset because I was saying gods and God (gods being non-descript that could be alien, angels, or something else that the ancients did not know as opposed to God as the creator)
The best we could do is speculate as to what was actually going on at those points in history.
More explicitly, the context was that I was referring to greed "gods", the "gods" of the mahabarata(sp for laziness in search?), and other ancient reference to "gods" that were written of as though they were physically manifest on earth.
I may refer to God in an incorrect manner, but intended as the universal creator, "the one", or however that entity should be referred. I've heard it commonly named Yahwey. Honestly, the only one that offends me is when I see "g-d", and then only because (on other forums) have had people edit quotes to remove the o.
That said, please correct me on how I had the definition and I will attempt to refine in the future.
I think it was tried both ways. I think the gods that liked their offerings burnt and an occasional young virgin were actual biologicals.
