"So Baal or Quetzalcoatl would be good deities?
"
Sure. Why not? They seemed to satisfy the needs of the cultures that created them. It's all the same.
Baal was kind of a perpetually pi$$ed off deity. Demanded human sacrifices and the like. But, there you go. There have been a number of cultures that created nasty sorts of deities. But, I'm sure those deities had simple answers for it all.
Imagine, though...a religion that executes non-believers. What a thought! A deity with the power to justify wiping out whole cities...except for the wimmens, of course...they might come in handy.
Sorry, Tribune, but they're all the same. Sometimes they're nice (especially to their followers). Sometimes they tell their followers that it's OK to slay the outsiders. Cultural imperatives, I suppose, cause cultures to create nasty, vicious deities if it suits their needs.
Well, if all gods are the same what is that you dislike about our culture that makes you hot to remove our's?

Imagine a religion that tells us to love our neighbor and do unto others as they would unto you.
