Then why do you have to bow to him? Why do you have to sing songs for him? Why do you even have to say ridiculously long prayers to him?
If a god was infinitely more powerful than everything else, it wouldn't give one single damn about people bowing or singing songs to him.
It's purely for the benefit of people taking part in whatever form of praise they think is appropriate for supreme power and creator of all things and ultimate reason for your existence. People like to show a bit of heartfelt gratitude and humility you know. Alien concept though it may be for you, nothing greater than your own self eh?
Thank you for what exactly? Billions of people bow down and worship and devote their lives to what exactly? I mean maybe if a god actually did anything worth a dog's pile of shit then yeah it would be justified to show some gratitude. EVEN THEN a supreme being would be humble enough to shy away from it and instead tell people to focus on being productive. Instead we have a god who demands people to devote hours upon hours reciting useless prayers with absolutely no results.
Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. -Alice
