The reason is extremely simple: Gods will not hinder others. If a god is hindered by others, it is not worthy of being called a god. Gods will not be like corrupt officials; whoever gives more money will turn the black and white, whoever does things for and whoever serves. If the gods are like corrupt officials, there will be no gods to speak of, and it will be even more unconforming to the common sense of heaven and human ethics.
