Picking up on something thedistillers said in his Atheist = Creationists thread, why would a god be automatically worthy of worship?

Urgh. Do we have to?
Assuming an all powerful creator exists, he/it is obviously a sick and twisted self centered moron for creating such a fucked up world and only deluded cretins would imagine such a being is worthy of worship.

which one?

If he existed, he would be the Universe's biggest underacheiver by a wide margin.

Do we really have to pick up on ANYTHING thedistillers says? Be careful how much attention you mind him, he might just start shooting abusive PMs your way.

so he doesn't get pissed. Remember he can do anything, even eliminate you or reward you beyond your dreams.

Abusive PMS? That's gotta be the worst kind. I can't even imagine the cramps.

Automatically worthy of worship? No.

I would suggest that worthiness of worship is a very specific type of respect. Respect, after all, must be earned so I would say this is no different.

As such, the answer depends on his/her/its character and what they have been up to since the alleged creation event. The Abrahamic God most certainly is not worthy of my respect, whether he exists or not.

He's very excited about the new changes.

Er, which ever one/ones is apparently responsible for this fucked up planet. The nature of the argument doesn't require a specific god to be named.

thedistiller referred to the alleged creator of this universe.
But it might be more fun if we read this as "any god".

So long as he keeps the corn growing in the fields he's got my vote. And also human sacrifices.

Yea it does.

Some gods are crap and are worthy of nothing. Some gods are awesome and are worthy of honor.

Perhaps whether he/she/it is worthy of worship by default does not. Whether they have earned it most certainly does.

I agree with this section of your statement, so I'll quote mine it.

P.S. This is an example of a quote mine, and as such it does NOT reflect the actual intention of the OP.
