almost all the GOD in media portrays very similar to the bible ones, cruel, amoral, highly apathetic, and wrathful, probably as way to not upset snowflake christian viewers.
But also because that’s the only way evil in the story can actually exist, and thus actually reflect the suffering and conflict in real life. The Triple-O God can’t exist, as evidenced by gestures at everything
Even if the Christian God was real, Omnibenevolence is the first characteristic to be dropped, as the Bible already depicts a cruel, wrathful, egotistical and petty God.
I was going to say that I kind of wish The Devil existed, because then we would know that truly horrible people would eventually face damnation, and in a way it’s nice to imagine that cosmic justice could exist.

Agree, but I was think more like the Greek gods. They’re far more interesting.

You can reason with Greek gods. I appreciate that.
Yeah, would be nice if there actually was someone looking out for you…
