Comment by Rat jester on Love Came on a Moonlit Night - Chapter 1

So uhm this is actually kind of an anachronism, like the fact that Psyche doesn’t believe in gods is pretty much impossible at that time, it’s not so much the fact that they’re an atheist (even if that fact already was pretty uncommon at that time) that is surprising but more the reason of why they’re an atheist. Not believing in gods because if they do that would mean they're very cruel is a pretty actual way of thinking about religion, in the hellenist religion (at least the one from ancient Greece idk in what do hellenists from today believe) gods aren't flawless being that are nice to everyone,  quite the contrary actually they are being with a lot of flaws, they often used humans when they were in conflict with each other, Zeus the king of gods is pretty famous for sleeping with everybody despite being married and there's a lot of exemple like that. Anyway gods suck and people know but they also fear them. (Sorry about this rant I really like Greek mythology, but also if you notice any mistake in this text please tell me, I don’t wanna tell things that are false to people lol)
