Eragon

If anyone has heard of Eragon you must admit that he's pretty awesome.  In fact, Eragon is one of my favorite fictional characters.  He's brave and strong and he even has a dragon named Saphira.  He calls himself an elf man because he looks and has the skills of an elf, but his blood is human.  He can cast spells and he can save the kingdom called Alegasia and he will live until he is hundreds of years old because of the bond he and his dragon Saphira have.  He's pretty cool, right?  But think about this for a minute, Eragon isn't real, he has never exited and never will.  Worshiping him as a god is a mistake, because there's only one God in this world.  In Eragon's world, there are so many gods for all the different races that he doesn't know which ones to worship.  He has an obligation to the dwarves, so he feels that he should worship their gods, but the urgles are a tough and bloodthirsty race and he feels that he should worship their gods to keep the peace.  Then the elves on the other hand, who he basically resembles now, don't worship any god.  They dont believe in anything.  Eragon once asks his master, Oromis, who they, the elves, worshiped.  Oromis replied that they didn't worship any gods because the other races had so many gods they didn't know which ones to worship.  We Christians are spoiled.  We have it easy.  We aren't dwarves, Urgles, or even Elves.  We are humans, just like Eragon.  But we don't have a delimma on which god to worship because we only have one...or we should only have one.  We don't have to choose the gods of the dwarves of the Urgles, we don't even have to be like the elves and feel so overwhelmed by all the choices that we just don't chose at all.  We only have one God to worship and he deserves every ounce of praise that we can give him.  He deserves our all.  So give it to him...give him your life, because he made you and he deserves EVERYTHING.
