Gods Are The OG Influencers
Our life is a series of choices we make and the consequences we face.
From Self to Civilization.
Across the 5 levels of Decision Making (Self, Team, Society, Nation-State, Civilization), there are many forces which influence the choices we make.
Right from the clothes we wear, to the wars we fight.

And gods & goddesses of different cultures and different societies are one such eternal force, which shape a lot of our decisions.
Maybe that's the reason they're called gods?
