I sort of remember Jesus saying in the Gospels that you shall know them by their fruits.Because 'good works' are done for the praise (even if the praise is just between the doer and the needy) The fruit of salvation is seen as almost a debt or obligation one is happily tasked to do.
Why shouldn't humans ge t some praise? We do all the work. You have a god who wants to take all the credit when we do good but no responsibility when we do bad. It don't work that way, daddy.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
