I hate that magic is not used to do anything other than fireball monsters. That is ridiculous. Are the various races of Golarion too stupid to realize magic could make every aspect of their lives infinitely better? At the very least, use golems to build stuff, move stuff, and kill stuff rather than doing so yourself. I guess toiling away and/or risking death is something they enjoy on Golarion. Only using golems to guard forgotten dungeons for thousands of years makes much more sense.

Also, the gods fail and they all need to be killed and forgotten. Especially the so-called good ones.

According to the gods of Golarion, you allow the child to die a horrible death rather than lift a finger to save it. The only lesson seems to be that the gods are unfeeling monsters whose fear of making things worse guarantees that nothing gets any better. I guess Golarion will always be plagued by the same problems no matter how much time passes and no matter the sacrifices made by the mortals living there. That is more than a little terrible. I'd suggest the mortals kill the gods. Then they could suffer and die solely because of their own stupidity rather than the indifference of sanctimonious overlords who expect everyone else to do all the work while they send visions and preach. The obvious question is, if the gods don't benefit the mortals who worship them, then what is the reason they are worshiped? If my prayers were useless, I wouldn't bother praying. I'd think and act on my own initiative and I'd appreciate it if the gods would shut up and go away. The good gods should stop promising improvement and then not delivering anything of the sort. If they don't care what happens to the mortals, then don't pretend otherwise. Is even that beyond them? Maybe being a god requires also being a lying, manipulative, corrupt, useless hypocrite? Reminds me of politicians. I hate them too.

The passivity displayed by the good aligned gods has always bothered me. I don't feel there is any justification for them allowing mortals to suffer and die. The good gods talk about the value of mortal life and yet do nothing to protect it regardless of the number of lives at stake, as seen in several adventure paths. I would absolutely refuse to worship such hypocritical beings. At best they are simply lazy or inept. The least they could do is send down a few solars on occasion to take out some of the many uber evil creatures that infest Golarion. It seems to be fine for the demons to do whatever they want so one assumes it would be the same for celestials. Or instead of having your clerics build yet another opulent temple in which to praise your awesomeness you order them to do something about the people starving to death in the gutter outside the opulent temple they are currently praising you in. Oh right. Doing something about poverty requires more effort than holy smiting some demon. And we've already established even that is too much effort. I guess the good gods really are useless. I doubt the world would be much worse without them. They certainly haven't succeeded in improving it any. That is their message right? I will make things better. Well, maybe there will be some progress in the next couple thousand years. I just hope that random groups of adventurers continue to save the world while the good gods do nothing. Of course, I imagine that a few of the mortals who suffer and die during this period (and the previous period as well) would probably have preferred the gods actually put their awesome power to some practical use sooner. Too much to ask I guess. Personally, I'd go with the evil gods. They don't bother pretending your well-being means anything to them. Even being honest is something the good gods can't manage.
