Respect? God doesn't have to do anything to earn respect, this is respect is assumed, and should be hard-coded in our DNA. Now ASSUMING God created the Universe. What does respect have to do with anything. He would be The Creator. The one who sustains you. The word respect doesn't really describe how someone should approach God. * +
