No, we are not "ought" to bend over for his every whim and fancy.

I've never understood people that say 'if your god existed I wouldn't worship it anyways'. It's as if their cause is of the most noble kind. What they don't realise is that if god X exists then holy book X is the absolute truth. So why not just go with it.. As silly as reality might seem from then on.
I disagree. I think the argument being made here is that even if your god exists, your holy book is still complete bollocks - a piece of propagandist fiction published by your god for self-glorification and thus, I would still continue to use my common sense to judge things like truth and morality.
