Reading through Mark Twain quotes(fanboy), I realized this one was similar to what I have thought many times over.
'The gods offer no rewards for intellect. There was never one yet that showed any interest in it.'
-- Mark Twain.
Can an apparently supreme, all knowing deity, truly be so lacking in self respect, or so vain that it needs constant worship?
I think not. I think that if their was a deity of such power to make us, it would prefer people who use the god given intelligence to progress, not spending our lives stroking it's ego.
Wouldn't space in heaven be better give to those who have advanced mankind instead of pointless religious do-nothings like ayatollahs, priests who offer nothing but a total waste of life and time. Surely he would prefer the likes of Einstein, Darwin etc, people who challenged the way we think.
After they died, wouldn't he prefer to say 'well done my pet, you were a great human' to them instead of bootlickers?
Something fishy about people who think a supremely intelligent deity would like to be surrounded by mindless drones. Wtf would they talk about?
