Knowledge
There is Dear Reader a basic but little thought of logical deduction about a supreme being. Namely that a supreme being must be all knowing. This is logical, for if dear reader this being, which called itself supreme, was not all knowing, how could it know that it was supreme!
To continue, and press the point, only something which knew everything could claim divine right and the associated response which goes with this.
Why you may ask is this important, two reason I will leave you with. The first is to show the mockery of the so called pantheons of God's which many in past times claim to exist, and sadly many today continue to worship. For in this very set up of Greek Zeus, Viking Odin, or Hindu Vishnu, they same flaw applies. None of these so called deities meets the requirement to prove it so.
Let me Dear Reader use another example to illustrate my point. In a strange and quirky country called England, lies a county called Yorkshire, long history and odd it is. However to officially claim the title of Yorkshire man, one must have be born within it's boundaries. One can live in area after birth, and are still an interloper, only by birth is this title truly awarded.
In same way the title of God comes with it a requirement, which is all knowing, anything less proves that the first claim to Godhood false.
Which leads to the second point, our response.
If God is who he claims to be, then by default what he says about our response to him must also be noted and acted upon. This then is the crux, for if we in either ignorance or vanity create myths and legends of deities which mirror our own faults and flaws, acting like,...... well giant and powerful , but flawed and selfish humans. Then worship of these creatures are insulting to the true holder of the honour, and draining to those who place false faith in these dream fantasies.
Our "wish projection" of who God should be, or what we desire of it, should never overtake the truth of who he is.
Notice now i have only touched on one aspect, but i will come to others. So i ask you now to consider Dear Reader, does the God who demands your time and obedience also claim the title , all knowing, for if truth is to have the power, you need knowledge.
