Question

What are the similar characteristics of the various gods and goddesses?

Answer 1

All gods and goddesses have some attribute of life (or death) that they are in charge of. This could be the skies, oceans, sun, moon, seasons, and many other things. In all religions, people are afraid of them as they are their supreme leaders, and they often offer them sacrifice. They were created so as to explain the inexplicable, the events in nature they could not explain scientifically at the time.
