Maybe just a superiority complex. Always having to be appeased, idolised and thanked for everything must surely result in this! Peter Edward
He/she is egotistical and a control freak.
You obviously don't know Him.

And you do,,, right..
Well can you ask him how he stands on global warming, i just don't know who to believe? Also you could ask him to make sure England go to Euro 2008, we did only get a draw with his people. With him on our side, i think we could go all the way.
I was thinking about not responding .... but .... what do you know about God? Anything? Is a stupid game of football your God? Would you really admit to that?

Football aside (and I think some incredibly sad people do see it as the be all and end all of existence), the biblical god does seem to be incredibly egotistical. He demands worship and his purpose is to glorify himself, so even by human standards he has his faults. A father who bullies his children into submission with dire threats of terrible punishment and an unbending rod of iron neither earns or truly receives their love. He does achieve their blind obedience to him, but only because they fear for their own safety.
Don't blame God, folks; gods are lumbered with the characteristics that their inventors endow them with. For some reason the Jews fancied a God who would be monstrously cruel to folks, and then be worshipped by them as a thank-you for his nastiness. The Christians then took him over and made him into a loving and caring God, though they failed to notice that he liked to express that love and care in the form of earthquakes, droughts, famines, hurricanes, tsunamis and the like. What a pity they couldn't rid him of those Old Testament bad habits.
