respect must be earned, and it requires certain knowledge of the object where we're to deposit our respect. we cannot respect soemthing that doesn't show itself.

Well that's how it is in the BB house, HM's want to stand out to the viewers to be kept in! Respect should be earned and no one will earn respect if they speak like that!

IF you ever read the Bible you would know that God earn it many times over!
But people like yourself come along that don't want to respect God, don't even take time to read the Bible, pray, or anything and wonder off into your neg., self centered world. And when you do that, that is when demands come. If you don't want to end up in Hell for all eternity, you had better start respecting God and loving him too.

Most days, I know it's time to log off when I get to a question that defies logic. That prize goes to you today.
Last time I checked though, God wasn't demanding anything of me. Nor does He demand anything from anyone else. Your perception God is really off kilter. God simply loves us. He does not demand that love in return. It's called free will.

God can stop your heart from beating any time he wants to. How dare you say God should earn respect?

God has earned the respect he deserves. And anyways he created us, so why should he have to earn it from us? But back to your orig ques, he did earn it.

He has earned it. It is only by his grace that you are alive and have the breath to keep on living.
Romans 2:4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
God is good and kind, not wishing any to perish but for all to come to repentence. Now if it was me and someone posted a question like yours, I might be tempted to take away your air from you for about 30 or 45 seconds and then ask you if you thought I deserved respect or not. Aren't you glad that I'm not God?

Those who mocked God....
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): " Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Here are some men and women who mocked God:
------------------------------------------------
JOHN LENNON:
Some years before during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966).
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
-----------------------------------------------
TANCREDO NEVES (President of Brazil):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.
-----------------------------------------------
CAZUZA (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During a show in Canecão ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you."
He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.
------------------------------------------------
THE MAN WHO BUILT TITANIC:
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it"
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.
------------------------------------------------
MARILYN MONROE:
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He is a preacher and Evangelist and the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:
"I don't need your Jesus"
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.
------------------------------------------------
BON SCOTT:
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
"Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, wow the highway to hell".
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his vomit.
------------------------------------------------
CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "MY DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU",
She responded: ONLY IF HE (GOD) TRAVELS IN THE BOOT(trunk), COZ INSIDE HERE IT'S ALREADY FULL"
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the boot was intact.
The police said there was no way the boot could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the boot was a crate of eggs, none was broken.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
JESUS!!!
What benefit does it have, if a man gains the whole world but loses his soul? What can man give in exchange of his soul? (Mathew 16:26)

He doesn't have to earn it. You were created by him, therefore you should respect him.
