The Great God Tom Phillips

It occurred to me that since Tom Phillips has had the second anointing, he has passed the ultimate test of his mortal probation and he is guaranteed to be a god in the next life, provided he can avoid murdering an innocent person in the decade or so he has left on this planet.
I was wondering if it would be appropriate to start worshipping him, but then I realized that would be the same as worshipping Ba'al or some other alternative god. But if I did so, I would in fact be worshipping an actual god of sorts, which means that polytheism is a legitimate concept in the Mormon worldview. The only reason people don't worship other REAL gods is that they don't know who the other REAL gods in the cosmos are. They only know the fake gods of earthly "paganism."
