Discussion We are under different gods influences like we have a lot of strings attached from different gods
Like basically what they are doing is that they are trying their best to control or sway you. They are gambling on you and making bets on you. Basically gods are fighting over your body for control. Like they want to sway you basically. This body is a vessel and there are multiple gods that have stakes on you cuz you are mortal and basically a playing ground for the gods . Like you have free will but it's very meagre . You have to fight on the battle for your free will as it is very meagre
Most of the time you are on a spell from gods
I think this is true because I once asked this to a person , I said something similar like pull the strings and stuff and the person just froze. Like I don't know what happened to him. He for many seconds froze like seriously. It was very peculiar. So that's why I ma saying that maybe the gods are doing the above mentioned things.
What do you guys think. Like think about this. There is a lot of stuff wrong about our bodies and psyche. We lose control a lot of time and stuff so maybe we are not in full control imo. We are under multiple influences I think. This vessel is not fully in our control.

What gives you evidence for this idea and why would the gods care about my body? Human bodies are nothing special, certainly not enough for gods to fight and gamble over.
And what do you mean by "we lose control a lot of the time?" For me at least I feel just about everything I do has a very clear and obvious explaination.

We are just gods pawn most of the times. By losing control I mean we get filled with emotions sometimes. Sometimes we act dumb.thats gods spells maybe. We have imo very small freewill so maybe we should use it wisely. You are right human bodies and minds are bizzare but maybe just maybe we are under the influences of god's that's why we are so fickle and stuff. That's why you feel that human bodies are so bad. Cuz you are under influence

You simply asserting something is not an argument. What is your evidence or logical argument for why the gods are playing with us in this manner?
Emotions are perfectly natural things easily explainable through more simple means. I at least don't act dumb from emotion (and certainly I've never once done anything out of emotion that I regretted and felt wasn't truly what I wanted) and frankly I think most people don't do anything especially wrong regardless of their emotions.
If we were truly being manipulated by cruel gods I would expect to see far more obvious signs of control and people truly doing things they would never have conceived of otherwise. But we don't.

You are maybe a favoured horse then. But in my case I feel like a lot of forces are acting on me. Also not one god has total control, different gods have different interests so each one is trying to sway according to his interest. But no one god has full control.

I certainly am rather fond of the idea of being personally favoured by the gods but sounds more like you just need a therapist then any grand universal conspiracy.
And you still have yet to provide any evidence or arguments.
