Bigger and better doesn’t make him god

For god to exist I must exist. For what is a god without a creation? God cannot bestow supremacy on himself without the existence of lesser life forms against whom he measures himself. The basic premise for our worship of god is that he is infinitely greater and more loving than what we are. Why then did he create lesser life forms when he had infinite power at his disposal to create a realm of equally powerful and loving beings? After all, nothing is impossible when infinite power is at your beckoned call. It would appear though that god has chosen to retain all power and the self bestowed title of the undisputed mightiest force in the known and unknown universe. He wields unlimited power which in and of itself is very impressive but does that warrant him crowning himself the alpha and omega, the be all and end of all? Is the real God here not the very force that is being harnessed instead?

Let’s go back to god’s creation. How can creation be considered inferior to god when the creator defines himself by creation itself? God pits his abilities against life that clearly is disadvantaged through his intentional design. Apparently in one incident according to the Torah, god corners a man named Job and asks him questions regarding the depths and expanses of the earth, the way of light and the place of darkness and about the stars and their constellations. He challenges Job’s knowledge from the anatomy of various beasts to god’s private thoughts. After god gives Job a good talking to, contrition and repentance are Job’s response. This dialog is used often to demonstrate the infinite creative power and knowledge of the god. It is laughable to think that god had not created this man with the ability to try his hand at these challenges and then ridicules him for not being able to do so. If Job had the ability to know and do these things and was still found wanting then by all means reduce him and insist on repentance. By using his creation as a measuring stick of his benevolence and power, god relegates himself to merely creator and lifts creation to the ultimate standard to judge a being by. What need then do I have for a god whose worth I determine by my insignificance. Like I said – Bigger and better doesn’t make him god
