Indeed; but it's vital to remember this whole religion thing is a monstrous pyramid scheme. "God" (or the god du jour) only wants those things for the people at the top of the pyramid - everyone else never quite gets there, however hard they try or devout they are, and they're the wicked ones whom "God" despises for all sorts of ad hoc reasons.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
