If God were not almighty, would you still worship him?
I ask this question because I'm interested in the opinions of others.
I often hear people speaking about God's almightiness in a very admiring way.
But suppose he were mightier than all other beings but not almighty? Would he still deserve our worship? I'll give my own opinion after some have given theirs. Thanks for the feedback.
