You’re either trolling or are critically stupid, but I’ll bite. Concepts of and discussions about monotheism, the capabilities of deities, and the relationships between humans and their deities predated the birth of Jesus. Shocking, I know. There is no contemporary evidence that Epicurus said or wrote this quote - rather, it seems that it was an attempt to boil down some of his thoughts that was eventually written in English by Hume, who likely would have anglicized the word for a monotheistic deity as ‘god’.

So Hume made it up. Thanks.
