CB should support custom Divine Domain selection

For Divine classes, instead of selecting a specific Diety from the provided list, there should be an option to select any 3 divine domains. 

For any home game that plays in a custom world setting and pantheon, it is a super pain in the neck to find the appropriate Domain and Divinity feats for your divine character.  You have to do one of two things:

1)  Under feats, select "Show Illegal Elements" which brings up the god-awful HUGE list of all feats, and then scan down for the select three options you're looking for.

2)  Cross-reference for a provided Diety that shares one of your domains.  Then go over to the feat section.  Then go back and cross-reference for another Diety that shares one of your OTHER domains.  Repeat.

This is not fun.

This is a very good suggestion.

Related to this, RAW charcters are not limited to worshipping one god and the PHB specifically says clerics for instance can serve churches that worship pantheons.  Yet the character builder limits you to one deity. 

This should be expanded to allow characters to the option to select multiple deities for those who worship pantheons.  This has a major effect on what items, feats, paragon paths, and epic destinies characters can select in the character builder.

Furthermore, there are dozens of deities on the Character Builder list with no domain support.  It would be better to allow the player to choose the domain package of a certain deity, or enter a custom list of up to three domains if her/his deity is unsupported.
