Why would any god or goddess or deity be a nice guy or gal or, as is
often the case, guy/gal? Athena, like th god in some old testament
books, has a chosen one/people; she has a certain affinity for the
hero who embodies the virtues of her cult. But thenotion that Job's
god should be good and only good is kinda silly. God, and Gods,
Goddesses too, are jeolous, angry, wrathful, mysterious, terrible,
sublime, understanding, awesome, powerful, enigmatic, everywhere and
everything, beginning and end.
