Occam's Razor violation by adding an unnecessary and unsupported
function to deities.

Gods are spirits detected by that small percentage of the population who
have direct personal observation of the spirits of the world.  The
majority has always had no direct personal observation of the spirits if
the world so some take their existence on faith others disbelieve.

God as a singluar being is a second Occam's razor violation.  Across
history and prehistory many mystics have reproted and continue to report
direct personal observation of the spirits of the world.  Some report
observation of deity.  Some report deity is one.  Some report deities
are many.  Those who report deity is one disagree on the personalities
of deity.  One Occam's Razor approach is to not multiply deities so
deity is many and some mystics only met one of them.  One Occam's Razor
approach is to keep it simple and say billions of well adjusted and
sincere citizens were deluded.
