Yeah.  Pretty high on likely hood of turning serial killer later in
life.  It's hard to diagnose abherent behaviour in a creature with no
statistical basis for behaviour other than itself.  If we look at
other mythical beings, then it does appear to be par for the course
that it should be fickle and homicidal.
By Human standards, yes, it's sociopathic.  But realistically, god's
not human.
What is normal behaviour for a figment?
