Well, to be fair, I think we added things in the search that ended up being superfluous. All that was required in the end was fear.

If god commands something because it is good, then what is good would be independent of what he demanded or what he willed. May as well cut out the middle man.

I think the only way I would worship it is if our moral compass couldn't be trusted i.e. something is good because God commands it.

I'm glad holy books are a bunch of superstitions though.
