(February 2, 2016 at 2:51 pm)Whateverist the White Wrote: Of course our 'creation' may mean no more to Him than my taking a dump does to me.  If the microbes inhabiting my stool feel grateful, would I know?  Does our gratitude mean any more to God?

Why would God want our gratitude or worship?  This is something I've never understood. What does he get out of it?  Is the almighty creator of the universe so insecure that he needs to worship and adulation of beings lesser than him? 

I took part in creating my kids.  I don't want their worship.  I appreciate their love and gratitude, but do not feel that it is something that is owed to me.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
