The god in this case is, roughly speaking, the Western conception of god filtered through Japanese eyes. Unconsciously or not, they want to kill the god of the people that nuked them twice and bridled their empire. Kind of like how Godzilla was at first an allegory for The Bomb, then an allegory for Japan's economic and technological miracle following The Bomb.

we already killed him years ago

It's going great for us...

Because you're god.

They do that so that you can be god.

They are extreme animists (which is perfection), so it stands to reason you kill some gods at some point.
I mean, if you use your tool to create masterworks for 100 years then your tool will become kind of a god, too.

Germanic heathenry was/is a bit like that too, only with a higher focus of naming.

To give an item a name is the first step of magic.
Throatseeker, seek my enemies throat.
Swiftbrew, may you brew my coffee swiftly.
Soundeater, shield my ears.
Mousereaper, reap the mice.

IF you can't beseech your item, how will it be magical?
A named object always has more power than an unnamed one.

These things are still echoing in our genetic memory, we call computers stupid, that fucking phone, etc.
To us, they too have character, we are also animists.

Thus we have a great kinship with the Japanese and others of that kind.

I mean, the myriad of ways they use 気 (ki/spirit) in their everyday speech for so many things.
You can attach your ki to something to pay attention to it, the weather is the ki of the ski, etc.
気をつけて
ki wo tsukete

let your ki seep into whatever, mind the stairs, let your ki seep into the stairs so you may traverse them safely, shit like that.

I suppose it can be compared to the Germanic "lif/leif" lifeforce that is in everything (including inorganic stuff), but that is basically unused these days.

Then he tops you and smashes your boipucci and makes you call him daddy

Why? What's the deal with coppers? Why do we fight them so often in vidya?

>replies to posts talking about Shin Megami Tensei and video games
Imagine being so triggered by religionfags that you mass reply to a bunch of posters on Zig Forums. Are you 15 or just autistic?

He’s “trolling”
Or at least he thinks he is

get your mythology right
the christian god is an eldritch monstrosity with an army of abominations
