And then I could ask you if seeking to be worshipped is a righteous pursuit. Dude....being worshipped should be the last thing on our list of righteous pursuits!
Seeking something that G-d is or does or something he seeks is good. If G-d does something I define that as good. Many may seek to be worshiped but not for the same reason or purpose that G-d does. I do not know all things but I trust and believe in G-d. I do not believe he is a do as I say - not as I do - kind of G-d. I trust him, his methods and all he asks, all that he allows and all that he does. If it is really a part of him - I am comfortable with being a part of him and I seek it - no exceptions - none.

You can seek what you will but for me - I seek the goodness of G-d - whatever that is.
