Then man said, “Let us create god in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the wind and the rain and the thunder and lightning and all of the forces of the earth.”

So man created god in his own image.

And man blessed them. And man said to them, “Make the land fruitful so we can multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Then man grew crops and raised livestock so they could give offerings to the god they created. Then with the power they claimed their god gave them, man enslaved other tribes and subjugated the women among them. Then when the men saw all that the god they had created had done for them, they said, “It is good.”
