I have a conundrum and I'm not clever enough to think of a solution. I like the idea of deities bestowing boons and abilities on their followers, but I also like the idea that maybe not all religions are valid, especially if their teachings and histories don't match up. What's a good worldbuilding way to handle multiple, contradictory deities existing and aiding clerics? I've toyed with the ideas that a.) it's the same set of deities wearing different disguises for each separate religion, and b.) there are no deities, it's the cleric's willpower that they attribute to deities. I feel like these two avenues are lacking. If there's anyone still here, what are your suggestions?

I thought the idea of deities treating us like we treat dogs would be cool. like "hey i'd love to help you but I literally can't understand your language." or Deities just treating us like tools to be used, "They're only humans, who cares?" like the way farmers treat their animals. As for the contradictions, maybe the gods have amnesia? are on drugs and forget? change their minds all the time? hope this helps

Being lost in translation due to being different species is an interesting angle. I'll look into that. Thank you.
