Thanos and Dad were right

I have to be on dad's side and Nora said it.
In the Noragami universe there isn't such things as 'Natural Disasters', they're the actions of gods. When the economy bubble burst because of Kofuku accidentally waving her fan too hard, how many deaths/suicides/misery do you think she caused? Bisha exists because people pray to her for success in war, which translate to: please let me kill more humans of the enemy forces than they can kill us.
Imagine if we lived in the Noragami universe: covid19 is caused by the god of disease who accidentally farted downwind. People are sending their 'thoughts and prayers' to all the victims. But these victims died in pain and before their time, so they're now shinki who are forced into eternal servitude in the afterlife to gods. Imagine dying to the virus and serving the god who caused it, I'd be pissed. And there are people who are alive fearing the pandemic and praying not to get sick, they're giving unintentional strength and worship to the god of disease who caused this mess in the first place.
Dad's right. The gods suck. Although the mass extermination of humans is extreme, he could tone it down a bit by just converting everyone to atheist. But then again, people will just find other things to worship like money.
Sorry for the rant, but I feel like dad's misunderstood. I wish I could lie down in a puppy pile like Yukine right now...

    Damn that is thorough and yeah if one have the power to challenge this, they will absolutely use it. In a different angle, the Dad will definitely be the protagonist of this story
