22. It is not the existence or POWER of a "god" that makes them worthy of being worshipped
It is how they choose to use that power-- for good or for evil.

This is why The Book of Job alone is sufficient to prove that even if god exists, he is an immoral asshole and probably has a gambling problem as well.

Also, it is the utmost hubris to assume that any being whose power we cannot explain simply must be super-natural in origin, because we humans simply know everything naturally possible.

Send me back to the Stone Age with an ATV, a Taser and a cigarette lighter, and I could be a "god."

"Hallowed are The Ori! Those who reject the path to enlightenment must be destroyed."
