1) Saying that Daedra don't cause change is also a falsehood. It is a very foolish notion to consider that they bring about now change even after all that they had done to change the course of Tamriel's history. Like Else God-Hater says in Oblivion, "The gods don't do a damn thing. Do they even exist? How could anyone tell? Daedra Lords, sure. They exist. They do things. Bad things, mostly, but things you can see. The gods? They don't do a damn thing." Truer words have never been spoken.

2) Sure, sure, Zenithar could be bound to Mundus, but not on Nirn. It is said in the game that the heavenly bodies we see in the sky are actually the realms the Divines are confined to and we can only comprehend them as planets. They can only manifest themselves as visions because of their incapacitation from creating Nirn, as with Akatosh's dealings with St. Alessia. If they are far below power, how do they split themselves? You still havn't answered the question as to why they even split at all.

3) Are you so easily swayed by Alduin's propaganda? Sure, he is more powerful than other dragons. Does that make him a god? Sure, his essense was warped eslewhere when you defeated him. Does that make him a god? Sure, he tells you he is the first born of Akatosh. But let's back it up a moment and examine why we think Alduin is a god. Nordic aspect of Akatosh, some theorize Alduin is the destructive aspect of Time. Bringing some physics into the mix, no matter what, Time is constant, and even though it can be warped around and changed, Time goes on. When the world ends, Time will go on. It is constant. I think Alduin abandoning his role as World-Eater is inconstant with the flow of Time. A true aspect of Akatosh would not abandon its role. I think this is proof that Alduin is not connected to Akatosh.

4) You are missing the point when I say there is nothing in common between Tsun and Zenithar. In comparisons with different gods in different forms in different pantheons, Examples are: Kyne-Kynareth, Herma-Mora-Hermaous Mora, Shor-Lorkhan- They all have things in common with one another. Shor and Shezzar are not as different as you might think. Either way you slice it, Shor and Shezzar created Nirn, had the other Aedra help him, whether tricked or convinced, and they are the hero of mankind, and both are missing, or "dead," as Trinimac killed him. Notice how the halls of Sovngarde are empty of Shor. That is something in common, leading me to believe they are the same god. Alduin and Akatosh have nothing in common, leading me to believe they are not connected, as Nords know, and Tsun and Zenithar have nothing in common, leading me to think that they are not connected as well. It's simple reasoning.

5) There you go again with Mortal belief thing. I think it is a sound enough theory that since we are all on Mundus, we affect the gods that made us, but I really rather doubt it, especially since whether we like it or not, the Daedra's influence on us is quite apparent, having a much more prominent effect on us than the Aedra have since the Mythic era. One would think that our belief in the Daedra, in which everyone is sure they exist, would also be more prominent as well. Well some think Boethia is a good Daedra. Has Boethia ever done anything good? And the Chimer stopped believing in Azura. Did it change her a lick? I don't think so. The Chimer sure changed though. Akatosh has always existed, just with a different name. He was born in the beginning place where Time began, and will always be around. Simply believing in something doesn't make it happen. That Khajiit outside the portal to the shivering Isles in Oblivion believed it was invisible. Was it invisible?
