re: #193 Feline Fearless Leader

God-the-Trickster get real close very quickly to God-the-Arbitrary-Experimenter. Once the higher power is *not* expressedly looking out for you than yes you should consider being afraid since you’re now somewhere in status between a lab rat and an ant in an ant farm.

In some ways I think the multi-deity religions have a much better grip on this aspect. Multiple gods can express a wide range of actions/emotions and each be consistent and believable. (Loki, Coyote, etc. can be tricksters, other deities can bring good things to ‘the people’.) Having one god who loves and cares for us while creating a critter that parasitizes human eyeballs is a bit of a stretch for me.
