I believe both extremes are right, because more than one thing can be true at once.

that we're creating god but that it's also a fad that will go away soon?

I think you just accidentally described what's already been happening for 7000+ years.

Though if any followers still exist, they probably wouldn't agree that 𒀭𒂗𒆠 was just a fad.

To save others the search query:

> Enki (Sumerian: 𒀭𒂗𒆠 dEN-KI), also known as Ea (Akkadian: 𒀭𒂍𒀀 dE₂-A), was the Mesopotamian god of wisdom, crafts, fresh subterranean waters, magic, and incantations.[1][11] He was believed to rule the Abzû. In Mesopotamian astronomy, he was associated with the stars of the southern band of the sky.[17] Enki's wife was Damgalnuna, and their children included Nanshe, Asalluhi, Marduk and Enbilulu. His sukkal (attendant deity) was Isimud. Servants of the god included lahmu, kulullû, and the Seven Sages.

I figured that with the crafting, piping in fresh water, and magic incantations, Enki would be the most data-center-adjacent of the deities. :P

yeah, exactly. soon and god are both subjective. think more on it “going away” is subjective too.

rotary telephones and pay phones went away but we still have phones.
