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.
