Just a pile of ideas.

So, this still goes back to which are better, and 'more benevolent' or 'oneness' are some of the traits we have to choose from.

I suspect that the "more benevolent" notion is mostly wishful thinking. The mean Gods have bad PR, but I don't see how they have a lesser claim on reality.

I meant the vestiges of God, His accoutrements, His devices.

What do we know about those?

If we have the Pile O' Gods again, and I had to pick a God that can talk or a God that can listen, or one that I CAN appease, maybe I would want that one.

So it is about wishful thinking and not reality.
