I don't believe God made me specifically and I don't believe in God because I own him something. Also, God isn't slowly killing me by poisoning my body. Other people do that though (pollution). Other people do that whose end product(s) my life depends on (for instance electricity or food) and I don't believe them to be some kind of a deity.

OP doesn't believe lithium to be some kind of deity either. It's just a metaphor. Lithium gave them life, creator gods give life.

If lithium were a deity, it wouldn't exist.

In your opinion perhaps. In my opinion it's a perfectly good example of poor writing as well as a superiority complex.

Please.
