Wonder how many times God tried to convince someone to do a thing and they just kinda… didn’t. Never read the Bible, but I don’t imagine many stories of unredeemed goat fornicators or greedy merchants end up sticking around.

I feel like that was one of the best parts of the Greeks. Their gods fucked up constantly, and everyone knew it. Fate is a flip of a coin, and so were the deities they worshiped

They decided to cut the story of kid Jesus pushing people off roofs then bringing them back to life after people got mad.
