... yeah. Just about. [ and yet sometimes you just take the fall anyway for other reasons. we have wandered, and this food truck sells street tacos. tasty. ]

I feel like the difference between a petty human and a petty god is the amount of power they have behind their punishments. But I do think jealousy is an emotion that can impact just about anybody, human or divine or not. I can see your point though. It brings them more on the same level, relatable and understandable versus a god whose decisions are, like "shrouded in mystery" or whatever. I think I'd rather a god be upfront about stuff like that.

I think rather than "shrouded in mystery", the reason why a god is what they are is because they're incomprehensible to humans.

So every single action... we're not supposed to understand. Just accept it instead. Sure, we can question them, but we will never get an answer—or at least one that would satisfy us.

[ there's a slightly bitter, annoyed smile with that. ]

It's what they tell you in the church all the time, I think. You can't question God's timing, or the decisions made, you just need to know it's all in his plan. You can pray about it, but there's no promises. We aren't meant to understand, just believe.

[ it is probably increasingly obvious that jonas is a god that has beef with god in general still. ]

But blind faith isn't always the way. It's hard to blame anyone who wants to take matters into their own hands.
