MY OPINION <span style="display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
 * I dont really respect this god because he tricked many people to get out of trouble. He lied alot, and stole from his own half brother. I also dont think that I would be his froend because he seems like he would be really silly and immature if the did alll those things, and those are not the type of people I like to be around.**
