What's the Life Expectancy of a God?

What’s the life expectancy of a god?

Gods appear to be mortal.  I know that’s a shock to you but; when you think of it, they tend to die a very slow death and fade into myth.  If no one believes in them, they die.

Some deities have been around for over 4,000 years and are still worshipped. The Hindu god Shiva is among the oldest.  Others, however, had much shorter lives and are now considered dead.

Alive or dead, they still have the same powers (none).

There have been thousands of gods that we now give over to myth.  Maybe mythology is purgatory for gods.  Either way, all gods will eventually end up as myths and I think our knowledge is sufficient that no more gods will be created.

Without gods, we can finally start healing more of the sick, provide food for the starving and maybe even stop war.
Time will tell.

Walk the Path in Grace
