It's offensive if that's how you meant it. If you didn't mean to offend, it is merely a nave comment. I think you are stuck on the Western definition of a "fatherly" god. Cultures who grew up having to learn to live with nature understand far better the connection between man, our Earth, the Universe and all living things. To deny an entire sophisticated culture merely points out your lack of understanding. It is a matter of semantics. Your definition of God (whether you believe or not) is very different than a culture who lives, and thrives, having learned how to live with nature or god(s). Semantics. Nature or God cannot be controlled by us. Like water it will find it's own level regardless.
Talk of diversion at this point is pointless.
