When inventing a god, the most important thing is to claim it is invisible, inaudible and imperceptible in every way. Otherwise, people will become skeptical when it appears to no one, is silent and does nothing.
Exactly. The perfect scam. Demand unquestioning belief with the availability of evidence only after you're dead. You can even promise the greatest reward possible, eternal life, because it will be irredeemable because they are already dead. Wish I had thought of it first so I could have kept it from gathering steam.
