parents/village/elders act as an interface or "world" between you and the Void. "God" is a final catch clause for void leaks. like insurance. ideally you use God as little as possible, that's respect, "those who help themselves" and so on.

to use it just because you CAN is disrespectful. it's like using pub/sub to a global object for all your state management because it's easy. or like using a handicap parking spot w/o being handicapped. (or thinking u are and never trying to get better)
