trollish subtoot of a very wholesome post on religion
one gets the impression if the read the Rig Veda for example, that this idea of loving and just god is quite modern and reflective of a certain detachment from wild nature. You don't worship Indra because he's Good and Just. You better fucking make that burnt offering and recite these sycophantic hymns or else he's gonna send a tornado to your village and wipe out your whole family. If you kiss his ass enough maybe he'll help you murder your enemies, if he feels like it.
