Yes, but without the writings, you would have no concept to worship, or
you would find another sacred cow. Without these writings, your entire
belief system would fail. Since the writings are an obvious hoax, you have
a dilema. Go on believing as though you could believe something into
existence, or admit that you were a brainwashed child who has wasted his
one chance at living in make believe land. Besides, no free willed
creature would choose groveling and slavery as the gateway to salvation.
