    Fun fact: Lithium is named after the Greek word “lithos”, meaning “stone”. It was named so as it was first found in ores. Lithium is a critical element in batteries.

        Should we worship our parents for the same reason? I think something that creates something intelligent has a tremendous responsibility to the createe, no right to be obeyed or worshipped. They didn’t ask to be created, but you selfishly did it anyway, so it’s your problem to deal with, not theirs.
