This creator god is usually seen as a remote deity, far and detached from men and living beings; in some cases, it is more of an impersonal "creating force" or a primum movens than a "God" in the usual sense of the word. Even when described as a personal god, the Creator is believed to be far and detached from men and living beings; this detachment is the subject of a number of Bantu myths describing how the creator left the Earth, moving to the sky, as a consequence of him being upset with men or annoyed by their activities.
This creator deity is often depicted as a distant force of creation rather than a personal God; this detachment from humanity and living beings is a common theme in numerous Bantu myths that explain his departure from Earth to the sky due to his displeasure with humans or their actions.
