I *like* that! I like it -- a versatile, one-size-fits-
all, no-additional-purchase-necessary, all purpose
excuse! Most excellent.
Why would anyone teach their children to adore a God
who wears a belt of human skulls, dances on a mountain
of human skulls, and endlessly pursues destruction of
all that is created?
What, you think you may ask? Vishnu's ways are utterly
beyond your mere human comprehension; you may no more
question Vishnu than a bug might question a saint.
Vishnu was present at the creation, present at all the
endless creations -- were you there?
How can you excuse a god who requires regular
sacrifices of strangled or hanged humans, members of
your own tribe if there are no handy captives of war
around?
What? Did you hang on the World Tree for eleven days
of endless torment to acquire knowledge? Would you give
up your own eye at Mimir's Spring to acquire the Wisdom
of the Ages? You think you can begin to comprehend, let alone
*question*, the ways of The ALL-FATHER?
The ways of [fill in name of god here] are not your
ways, nor dare you impugn the perfection of [fill in
name of god here]. [Fill in name of god here] is to you
as you are to a dung beetle. Your mindless whinings no
more reach the perfect ears of [fill in name of god
here] than a sow bug's lament disturb the reflection of
a sage.
Und so weiter...
