The idea of a god is a god I mean, sort of? That statement isn’t literally true, but taken metaphorically it basically matches what I said. Jesus actually exists Scholarly consensus is that he was indeed a real person who actually existed, but he obviously didn’t perform the actual literal miracles described in the bible. He’s a psychological parasite living in the collective imagination of humanity. And He influences the world through His followers, who are sworn to serve Him. Yeah, sure. He doesn’t literally live, but the idea of him has a powerful effect, so metaphorically you could say he influences the world through his followers. Unless you’re getting into some really fucking weird mumbo jumbo bullshit and you’re trying to claim it is actually absolutely literal that he exists and exerts a force on the world directly, I don’t see where you and I are in disagreement.
