I think one of the most difficult things about choosing paths at least for me, is choosing the right path. Not just what is right for me but what is the moral right path and which god and goddess is actually good and what isn't? Do any of the gods and goddesses have a consistent personality? Do they have one at all or did we humans give them their personality due to how we work with them? There are so many gods and goddesses that have been praised and hated. Yahweh might be praised by Jews but hated by Gnostics. Jesus is thought to be a Muslims according to Islam and that his message has been misinterpreted and that they don't believe he's the son of god, but Christians do and according to Gnostics was a person who wanted to steer away from Yahweh's lies. Lucifer is both said to be an arrogant, corrupt rebellious angel but is also seen as a knowledgeable liberator and a champion of the people of Earth. Yahweh is seen as benevolent but also tyrannical and jealous. Devas are demonized by Zoroastrians but praised by Hindus and the same goes for Asuras since Asuras are enemies in Hindu but praised in Zoroastrianism. It doesn't seem like any deity is universally praised as good or bad, as it seems like every religious group will praise one deity but hate another.
How does anyone choose their path? How does anyone know which deity they worship is actually a good deity. For all we know the deities some religious groups like with Hindus, a lot of those deities might have been bloodthirsty, corrupt and bad, but were written in books to be heroes and heroines. Kind of like with war. Only the winners write the history books.
However if deities are beyond our comprehension, could they be beyond good and evil and just are? Sort of like living tools who aren't affiliated with the forces of good and evil and one could commit evil in the name of Jesus and do good in the name of Lucifer? Are there any good and evil deities or is it how we work with them that determines their alignment?
