Worshipping Dionysus

Taking theatre history this semester, and reading greek tragedy, I am thinking of worshipping Bacchus, Dionysus. The god of fertility and wine.
He makes perfect sense, he's a nice guy, he doesnt hurt people, all he preaches is for people to celebrate, celebreate everything, their inner minds, their existence...to let it all out.

I was reading a play called The Bacchae when I discovered that about him. Then I decided, why not worship that guy? He's not even omnipotent...there're other gods, who do NOT control fate. It makes perfect sense! It would explain a lot about how the world is.

The question is still in mind, I'm going ot have to think about it.
