Some thoughts from Terry Pratchett on the subject:

"It's a god-eat-god world."

"The trouble with being a god is that you've got no one to pray to."

"Most gods find it hard to walk and think at the same time."

"When you can flatten entire cities at a whim, a tendency towards 
quiet reflection and seeing-things-from-the-other-fellow's-point-
of-view is seldom necessary."

- Small Gods

I could never get into those books.  It always seemed like the turtle
should have been standing on hippos.  Too much suspension of disbelief.
