1-Muhammed was....muslim, right? That Aisha was possibly a kid by then.....that's more of a cultural-controversy than anything, and something not entirely alien. Even centuries after Christ, many nations married off people without a care for the age-difference, sometimes practically before even one of them was born.

A man being decades older than his wife wasn't uncommon. The wife being less than 15 years old by then, wasn't rare either.

Now, I'm 100% certain muslim culture has really fucked-up things in it, but Muhammed marrying a child, while squicky, isn't fucked up by itself.

2-Zeus having sex with a woman while in the form of a swan...The squickyness of bestiality is kind of remediated by the fact that it's one of his "rape tales" that makes more sense. Compared to, say, impregnating a woman in the form of a rain of golden dust. Or having sex with another woman as a motherfucking CLOUD.

3-Murders and genocides aren't really fucked up. Nor it's the flood. Or at least, they are a completely different kind of "fucked up". Not the kind of "my god, that's disgusting". But the kind of "my god, that's so tragic". Or maybe not tragic at all, on the more political cases.

Or in some cases, "my god, that's so damn stupid", given in some cultures wars started because you used the wrong honorific on the wrong person once.
