If you really read any stories of gods..of 3d kinds..
they dint write their own stories..
and they did not did their dharma : for 'worship'..
so when people worship 3d gods : what is really the expected result?
a 3d soul : who has attained 'moskha'..
can or will he listen to a 3d being?
when he/she did not make any promise or expectation of it?
3d gods show us the way..
values is what is to be learned and imbibed..
but expecting them to 'protect' you..
is something : of an ask from god..
which may or may not happen when u want or need it..
but help does come ... doesnt it?
it may come via a guy : who is not religious : at all..
or very religious..
i dont think religion really matters..
unless it becomes a default for 'supremacy' and 'nihilism'.
