Why have Apple, Android, PCs and so and so?Simple, it is a matter of personnal choice and preferences. Khali was never seen as a good godess but she was worshipped nonetheless.People worship evil deities so that these evil entities DO NOT put their portfolio to bear on them. Nerull is the god of death is not worshipped by the populace because he well liked. Incabulos,  God of plague, is not popular, but the average commoner will worship him to placate him.But evil priest will say...Evil priests are misguided individuals that worship evil deities for the power these deities can offer. Be it for revenge or some darker motivations, these priests need the powers that evil deities can offer. And they make great villains.And beside personnal preferences,  in some setting and in the old Legend and Lore,  nothing prevents deities and lower plane creatures to coexist. Lloth is also a demoness and commands demons. Bane has devil serving him (1ed FR box set). So nothing is truly redundant but we do have overlaps and is good. After all, evil must have some reasons to turn upon itself. And one set of creature stepping on the claimed territories of an other is quite a good reasons to start a war.edit: Saw quite a few typos. Thanks a lot Auto corrector...</blockquote>
