gods you mention roman etc. are all man made and in many instances men themselves i.e. hercules, but even the ancient greeks realized the limitations of their understanding and included an «unknown»
God in their worship structure.many cultures did likewise, having a glimpse of
God but not the fullness of understanding that was given to the Jews.Whether or not «we» believe, does not alter the fact that
