No.
No no no.
I've never met Vincent, but from what I can tell, is a really nice guy. I don't believe he would every inflict grand suffering on me or mine, and I do believe that if he could prevent their suffering, he'd do his best.
I don't worship him.
What would it say about me if I were willing to worship a being who cared less, just because it had more power?
God can not need forgiveness if he is to be at all worthy of our praise. He's supposed to be all knowing, all powerful. He can't make mistakes, and he knows the consequences of all of his action.
Either he can explain everything he has done, and how it was the absolute best course; or he is deliberately causing suffering for no good reason, and immediately throws away any chance of me worshipping him by choice.
