It's certainly clear that it's insufficient.

It's amazing just how much man assumes God owes us--and I do it myself to be sure. But my, my--don't we demand alot from God. After all, just who is the created and here? And we the created demand that all servitude be carried out by God, the creator. God blesses us daily, yet do we thank Him daily? Every breath of air is a gift from God to men, many of whom hate Him. He would instruct us on how to live, yet we ignore Him and curse His name when things don't go the way we'd like them to.

Find a Bible and crack it open to Job chapter 38. Read it until the end of the book if you dare.

How can you worship someone who holds you in such contempt and who considers even the basic necessities a gift given under duress? I'd find myself not liking that someone if they were a human, much less if they were supposedly our highest example of morality. Maybe you like living in fear and consider what you believe to be God's grace acceptable. However many of us can't even believe that such a set of events is reasonable and if they were then all of our existence is fundamentally absurd.
