Terry PratchettOn the Disc, the Gods aren't so much worshipped, as they are blamed.
About This Quote
The Discworld series is full of fairies, daemons, wizards, witches, trolls, vampires and more. These beings are worshipped by humans. But there are also many bad gods that have been worshiped. Due to the fact that they are blamed for what happens in the world, they will use humans who feel bad or guilty to try to get rid of them. This is called the scapegoat theory.
