In answer to yours and other people's objections, I am merely demonstrating that "God" is historically a catch-all explanation for the unknown.
As we discover the true explanations and reasons for events and phenomena, our concept of God is diluted.
I hope that this will help believers to realise that what they believe in is completely redundant; an empty meaningless concept.
This is just one of many reasons why religion is dumb.

please note the captical G, makinig it a proper noun and therefore referring to the God of Abraham and Moses etc.. To the best of my knowledge Vishnu is not called "God". he may be beleived to be a god, but not God.
(Have I bagged my first straw man, or are you just wrong 🙂 )
Vishnu is God. So are you.

Vishnu is not called God. he is called Vishnu. God is called God.

Vishnu most certainly is big-G God to the Hindus of the world.
