Not my problem.
You're right, you're wrong. Righteousness has never changed, it comes through belief. God called Abraham righteous because he believed Him, Christians become righteous because we believe John 3:16, we believe what God says. The Jews of old had to believe God and they would do that through their sacrifices, they believed God would forgive them through the sacrifice. However that belief ie. faith will be shown in the way we live our lives, this is the fruit of belief, wanting to live as righteously as we can for God and not ourselves. So nothing has change with righteousness, belief in what God says He will do is what's required, the only thing that's changed is who makes the sacrifice. Acceptance of Christ's sacrifice for us, or to be your own sacrifice by the law, live up to it every dot and tittle and you will be found righteous before God without acceptance of Christ. I can say that no one here will be able to do that because they've broken at the least the dot and tittle.

Which makes your fictional god as depicted in that comic book a selfish narcissistic prick. Yea, he will do what is required, for him. Because it is all about kissing his ass. If you like worshiping a dictator, be my guest, I dont. Especially not fictional ones.
