We are specks on a speck in a speck in a speck within a universe without apparent boundaries. Do you suppose its creator gets down on its knees with some form of extreme electron microscope, completely beyond our comprehension, to watch the subatomic motes going down to their own tiny knees in worship? Does the superpower microscope have audio so "their" creator can hear the selfish prayers of these same, subatomic motes?

"The most preposterous notion that H. sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest, and least productive industry in all history."
