  1. atrudokht I wouldn't go that far. The various chinese religions show that their dieties are not completely immune to petty squabbles and hypocrisy themselves that sometimes end with just as harsh or worse consequences for mortals. But I agree that overall they definitely do have a more favorable portrayal than the Helenistic gods.

  4. I could never understand why some of these stories were told to illustrate beings, whom people choose to worship, in the worse light. But yeah, the hypocrisy of this story always gets me ;p

  5.    That's how I see it. Still confused why some people still worship them though.
