I'm aware they aren't literal gods, no title, job or anything. Regardless of if he's officially or unofficially titled as a god, the point still stands though because the Elder's sons treated him like one. To them, he basically was a god...who created another of their gods. Starting with one of his kids bringing their dad water as a gift, and then the other kids getting jealous and bringing him more water isn't too big of a stretch. Not wanting to hurt the kids feelings he takes the offerings, and things continue to escalate over time until it becomes a tradition in their culture. Tis highly plausible at least, IMO.
This wasn't to continue the debate, this just seemed like topic the could be addressed that veered back in that direction... I'm done now, I promise. xD

Yeah, I understand your point and it's a valid opinion, but I don't necessarily agree with it.

Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.
