Is eating god paleo and eating "God" not paleo (perhaps the other way
around)? Lots of symbolic god eating and god blood drinking in that
religion stuff including paganism, polytheism, christian polytheism
(trinitarianism), islamic monotheism, etc.
Your myths are you own regardless of if you worship Zeus, Thor, Ra,
Shiva, Alla, the biblical storm god, the plural elohim (gods), Etc, or
any and/or all of them at once. The biblical god of death, destruction,
child murder, sanctioned rape murder and slavery of entire peoples
peoples, child sacrifice, damnation just for fun, stoning, curses,
genocide, etc., is not paleo and falls under a neolithic banner. Myths
do not deserve any adoration, worshipful respect, or capitalization.
I live in the real word where people believe in lots of things with no
rational basis, things that I and perhaps you do not believe in, that's
par for the course. When it comes to Zeus, or Thor, or Ra, or Shiva,
etc., most people are atheists. In fact, for most of the 1000s and
1000s of gods, most people are atheists so that framing your
communication as if it were being read by atheists should be the default
behavior. Paleolithic gods were framed as representations of aspects of
the natural world with a bases in reality. Neolithic gods have no basis
in reality.
If you want a christian paleo list with rules for worshipful and
respectful behavior appropriate to the particular trinitarian gods
adhered to with menus for creating paleo bread and paleo wine for
sacramental god eating rituals, create one (what ever variation you want).
To be more mild and less blunt, when some god believer wants me to help
them worship their own gods by paying some unearned respect to them,
that is quite presumptive. I won't help you worship your gods. Things
like gods, faeries, daemons, trolls, genies, etc., are not proper names.
