Ungodly people seek after worldly riches, fame and power. Each of these was considered to be offered by a different Power. This gave birth to many Gods.

Men bow to their deity in hope of amassing more and more wealth and a long life to enjoy it. Some also bow to their gods in exchange for name, fame, position and social one-upmanship. They give them first – money, gold, hair, coconuts and what not! – so that they can get manifold in return. A god who can give one all things (almost always material and earthly) that one desires in life (investment-based returns?) can’t be God. The devotee is a sinner and all his thoughts are continuously evil. He keeps doing evil even though the desire to do good is in him. He always wishes more than what his neighbour possesses. And, if the neighbour bows to the same god for his self-centred desires, the god that these worship would satisfy neither.
