OK, I can see that, but mine didn't expect "praise" they only
required respect. Not the bow down kind, just the "quit being a
smartass" kind (which didn't exactly "take" did it) and perhaps
"thanks" which I certainly can understand. But a true omni god would
not require *any* of that, the way I look at it. It knows
everything, understands everything, so there is no need whatsoever.
A true onmi-god does not have an ego that needs to be stroked by its
own creations (which is the most hilarious concept I can think of)

That part seems like a "control" thing to me, but that is just the
way I interpret it.
