I'm not sure, but there are a lot of interesting demons/trickster gods that cause troubles for people. Anansi the spider and Loki the Norse god come to mind. Their stories are usually more comedic than series but I think they offer a deeper look into how people view their gods - I mean, our Christian God and His friends are always serious in the most ultimate sense. But in older polytheistic religions especially, god images are much more human, so to speak. Gods get jealous, fall in love, play pranks, and get in arguments just like we do. I find that really interesting... It really says a lot about how cultures have changed, haven't they?

I always have had the interpretation that many /jp/ers were intelligent and well read. These threads (well, Touhou and religions/spirituality/myth) have been really popular in the past so I figured I'd start up another. They're also a lot of fun!
