There’s a story (probably apocryphal) of a Maori dealing with a Christian missionary. The native explains that their gods are vengeful and need to be placated with rituals. The missionary says that’s all the more reason to convert - the god of the Christians is a good god.
The Maori laughs and says, ‘What’s the point of praying to him, then? If he’s truly good, he’s not going to do anything bad to you.’
