As a child , our grandmother would always be chiding us, 'don't make the gods angry.' For some reason the gods are easily offended and you do not want to offend them. There is a god for everything and you always have to ask permission or else they will be angry and the outcome is not good. I remember being afraid all the time until I went to Sunday school in church where I was taught to pray and this God of the Christians would hear, be sympathetic and correct the injustice. I remember as a child adopting the good God of the Christians as my God and forsaking my grandmother's many gods. In my travels in China I see reminders of my grandmother's gods. I wish for them (the Chinese) that they too will adopt the God of the Christians.
