    They're gods, Humans don't have the same value to them as they have to you.

    I blame Osiris for the deaths, they were collateral damage for what Seth went through. Hadn't he be raped he wouldn't feel the need to exterminate any source of rebellion. He wouldn't want to defeat everyone if the last person who could defeat him hadn't raped him.

    Seth is actually incredibly pure hearted and that's exactly why Osiris' actions turned him into a disaster. But I see further than his actions and there's no point for me in simply judging him.

    That is not accurate because in this story gods are not given absolute freedom either, there are limits to what they are allowed and not allowed to do, which is why we'll see later on other gods' bodies getting covered in cracks and threatening to shatter in pieces, just like it happened to Isis' body when she tried to go against her duty as a benevolent deity and tried to flood Egypt merely out of spite: gods who go against their assigned roles start having their bodies cracking up and threatening to fall apart, because they know they're going against the reason they exist.

    Seth's denial is what's been keeping that at bay on his case, but that is only making his sins worse and delaying the inevitable. By the end of the season you'll see that in this story even gods are held accountable when they commit "sins" against humans on a whim, rather than for a justified reason. For example, it is said gods can kill humans when it's necessary to reduce the numbers of the popullation when there is not enough food for everyone, or when there are prolongued wars, and thus it was necessary to do it in order to maintain the balance of the natural order (like with the floods, for example) but they CAN NOT keep killing humans on a whim, without rhyme or reason, being sooner or later made to account for it.

    I am guessing this is an answer to the "they're gods, Humans don't have the same value to them"

    It has nothing to do with being held accountable or not. Do you think as humans we can kill other humans even just to reduce population and it's okay? No. Why? We're Humans.

    That's my point. Whether they're limited or not, whether they're punished or not. They don't have the same scale we have for Human value. We shouldn't use OUR SCALE to try to understand THEIR actions and emotions.

    We can't apply that belief here, because Ra says in the flashback in chapter 60 that the reason Isis and her siblings (Seth, Osiris and Neftys) have so many problems is *precisely* because they're too "human-like"... This gets ellaborated on in chapter 61 (the next oncoming chapter), where Horus explains to Anubis that Seth's, Isis' and Osiris' powers as gods grew weak due to them wanting to live and love like humans, and developing human-like emotional reactions as a result. Those human-like emotions and reactions make them react stupidly, doing extreme things, and they also weaken their divine power. So it's not that Seth is acting "like a god" when he kills humans for no reason, it's precisely the opposite: that he's killing humans for no reason because he's letting himself get carried away by "human-like" emotions.

    Ra clearly said that about the whole family feuds. Nothing indicates, even from far, that she was talking about Seth killing Humans. She didn't even mention Seth or harming Humans.
