Actually, I can think of any number of gods who seem to be more successful than Elohim. I think we got a rookie deity. He probably used to be a clerk at the DMV.
You can't really blame middle management for the policies of the board of trustees. He's nowhere near the top of the god-making pyramid scheme. He's just hoping we'll push him up further.
The more you think about kolobian doctrine, the more sorry you feel for gods like elohim. What a waste of eternity...
