All of the ancient god's were either a manifestation of Satan or one of his followers. This is why we have the same evil gods over long time periods and in many different places just with different names. Zeus was a murderous rapist and so was YHVH if you believe the Christian story. Satan must have divided up the earth amongst his followers and this is why we have inheritor gods like YHVH and Allah although I must say at least the Muslims seem to practice what they preach.
Only some of the Native Americans and other tribal type communities managed to follow the original teachings and avoid falling into the trappings of materialism that Satan gave to his slaves in the form of mechanical and technological advances and industry in general. All of these advances have culminated into nothing more than a means to observe, control and indoctrinate us. Some gift.
Since humanity is a creation of the divine we are inherently trusting and moral. This made us easy to fool by not so easy to corrupt. It is only in this new modern age that the tools for our total corruption have been developed and deployed. Sure there have always been evil, immoral and spiritually corrupt people but in general the average men and women stuck to their families and their morals passed down from generation to generation by family members, not a state education system.

What I do know for sure is that immorality is not liberation. It is enslavement to fleshly lust and material things and is the casting away of spiritual virtue and is also the cause of much pain throughout the world.

You seem to have missed that I am referring to all of the ancient gods including Zeus and all the way back to the beginning which to my understanding would be sumer.
They are all the same and they are all liars and pretenders to the throne.

Death is not liberation, the light isn't paradise. I think it's a big lie.
It seems that our spirits can be harvested in a way. Not by the universal God but by lesser gods/demons like the ones you mentioned. They could be aliens from other planets and/or from other dimensions but I don't believe that they are creators more than a geneticist or a computer programmer are.
Could entities be harvesting the faith from believers?
Whatever happens, I want to break the cycle or leave this level of existence after my death.
