if they are such mighty gods, why do they need such elaborate rituals, time consuming crafting with a lot of thought, planning and words in order to care, grant or hear what their follower is asking for?

would they really care if you're using cherry wood or oak, where exactly does celtic sea salt come from, what sort of ritual are you doing that needs, blood, hair and bones of a dead creature?

say what you will about christianity, it's sure less complicated...all i need is a book and prayer to keep my God happy, i've always loved to read exciting stories and thinking about their potential lesson naturally follows, finish with an amen and i've fufilled my contractual obligations of worship.
