If gods exist (which I don't believe) then they'll be at our mercy one day. One day, we'll be so wildly technologically advanced and so powerful that even ultra powerful alien entities in another dimension won't rival us.

If those are dead babies one might speculate that your assessment carries the sentiment of it's author.
Accepting variety, one might expect different temperaments between the gods; yourself for example, the authority expressed in the request to let a thread remain in this forum altho it had no apparent reason for it suggests a level of authority, combine that with dead babies and one might get an idea of what life might be like under your leadership.
As an example I served under a shift supervisor who had it in for me because I wouldn't join the union. Perhaps you would be as callous if you were in a position of authority over someone.

Here's an opinion you might find interesting
Catholic Encyclopedia From a theological standpoint divination supposes the existence of devils who have great natural powers and who, actuated by jealousy of man and hatred of God, ever seek to lessen His glory and to draw man into perdition, or at least to injure him bodily, mentally, and spiritually. Divination is not, as we have seen, foretelling what comes from necessity or what generally happens, or foretelling what God reveals or what can be discovered by human effort, but is the usurpation of knowledge of the future, i.e arriving at it by inadequate or improper means. This knowledge is a prerogative of Divinity and so the usurper is said to divine.
Who are the spirits in question? Apparently, they are a mix of cultural heroes and natural deities all somehow subordinated in a matrix called Di or Shang Di. This in turn, when viewed as the highest order of things, is called Heaven.

I accidentally ran and nearly amputated the 10% of my thumb tip and its nail through my 10yrs old circular table saw blade yesterday. Despite the shock, trauma, unconciouness for almost an hour and blood lost. Luckily my loves ones found me unconcious on the floor. Thanks be to God it was minor after a trip to the ER
Indeed we at the mercy or God.

Thanks for the man
that shocked moment of me staring at my exposed bone tip, I was really glad & thankful AF at the outcome. The xray Is unbeleivebably releiving & astounishing despite the amputated flesh.
