What makes a powerful being a god? What makes a god worth worshipping?
I think this came up in discussion of last season's Stargate, with the Ori running around and terrorising people into obeisance. The idea was floated that since they could give life, they were gods. And if they were gods and wanted to be worshipped...then what?

Yeah, let's call it that.
