If there is such a thing as an infinitely powerful supreme being, why would
it demand to be worshipped? Why would it care if it was worshipped or not?

The IPSB ('infinitely powerful supreme being') simply could make its wish our
command or make its command our wish, as the IPSB prefers.

It would already be at its highest level.. infinitely powerful. That
means its power couldn't be diminished under any circumstance, not even
by self-diminishment.

Have you ever heard of Russell's Paradox? :-)

Seems to me the only "being" that would demand to be worshipped would be a
being well short of "infinitely powerful." Just wondering about that....

Interesting point. Perhaps I've let vanity get the better of me.

No. What is it, please?

It's not exactly about what you were writing, yet it could be related in one
sense.

As the old saying goes. With God it is either " Yes " or " No ". In
between yes or no man calls it " Philosophy " instead of " or ". I
guess that is why mankind is in the mess that it is in.
