I could've stopped anything bad from happening, but I decided it's more honorable to let them do what they want regardless of how many people he may hurt. So then I made the earth. Now, I made these things called humans. They are my mostest favoritest things on the whole planet."

Now, his message to humans.

"So, you have to acknowledge that I am completely awesome. You must praise me almost constantly, and you should do your best to get other people to praise me. If not, I'm going to let someone torture you horribly forever. Oh, and by the way, my rival, Satan, is going to offer you everything that you find good. I'm also going to stand by and do nothing as you all suffer terrible horrible fates that I knew were going to happen. Some people claiming to represent me will then tell you that if you read a book that is totally incomprehensible and tell me how awesome I am, and ask for me to help you which I probably won't do because I want to test you, you'll feel less sad about the terrible things that I watch on my TiVO."


Well, either a complete wuss or he has a MASSIVE ego.


Did I miss anything?

I think I'm breaking a personal bylaw here by coming to religion's defense, but, this is at least a little Straw Man, no?
