If I saw someone about to grape a child, I would do anything to save that child, even if it means losing my own life, that's the difference between me and 4200 Gods
If I saw someone about to harm a child, I would step in without hesitation. I would accept the risk to myself because a child’s safety matters more than my comfort, my reputation, or even my survival. Protection of the vulnerable is not optional. It is a moral reflex.
That is why I struggle with the idea of thousands of gods who are described as all powerful, all knowing, and morally perfect, yet remain passive in the face of abuse, violence, and suffering. If a regular human being with limited strength and limited knowledge would intervene, why does an all powerful being not do the same. If I am willing to sacrifice my life to stop one act of harm, what explains divine inaction on a global scale.
Across history, humans have worshipped more than 4,000 gods. Different cultures, different names, different doctrines. Yet children continue to suffer in every country, under every belief system. If morality demands action from me, why would it not demand action from a being with unlimited power.
For me, this is not about anger. It is about consistency. If we praise courage and intervention in humans, then we should question silence and inaction in gods. If I would act, and they would not, then the difference between me and 4,200 gods is not power. It is responsibility.
