Not me. I insist that, whatever it may be, no valid conclusion about the status of gods in the universe may be drawn from it. (Having never read it, it may be anime for all I know but what difference does it make?)

(I think even better of you pocadotus now that I know you are not well versed in ancient literature. It says something good about how you choose to use your time on this earth.)
What's wrong with studying ancient literature? It's history! (At least in the sense that someone wrote it down a very long time ago). I find ancient studies fascinating... well, actually I love history in general.
Nothing wrong with studying history. I enjoy it too. I simply don't see the relevance for any religious claims that have any bearing on anything outside that one mythology. It is the implication that you can get there (to metaphysical claims) by way of studying ancient writings which I object to.
