Sigh. You can only make them happy as long as they stay on equal
footing with us. Very soon after they fall into positive autofeedback
self-enhancement process, you cease to be that. They move on, we stay
where we are.
You can't reciprocate to a god in any meaningful way. Tell me why a
god should consider us anything else than a feature of the landscape?
