Oh, I've punched God(s) amany times in JRPGs. But then I come back to reality and am mad I can't do it IRL. >:U
I've always felt it a little convenient for rich and powerful men in white robes and gilded cathedrals to be telling us about the virtues of being humble.

Yeah, I had a really good class on religion in college that helped me understand, like, the positive appeal of religion in terms of like, community-building, and structure for life, and communal resources, and like providing culture in the form of shared community narrative (and helped me be less of an asshole atheist. I hope, lmao.) There were better summaries of that but I seem to have lost those notes. Anyway, point being, it's really frustrating seeing some of the good points of the Christian mythological narrative and communities that actually encourage pro-social behaviors and kindness and forgiveness as an intrinsic and valuable part of this faith be swept under the rug by an aggressive high-control cult movement whose high-level players are seeking the financial and political clout that allows them to inflict their control-for-prestige on people who do not want to be a part of this cult in order to use fear-based authoritarian policies and social pressure to maintain their personal power and privilege. (whether or not they Believe in any meaningful sense is beside the point. the damage is the same.)
