I'm a servant of God and could have no so called god complex. It's sad that you can't understand what's being said to you. I find it amusing that you are so pompous and so unaware of that. Embellishing your personality with a generic god does not give you authority or charisma.
How utterly ridiculous you are, I care not whether you like me or not, I'm not here to win a popularity contest nor am I here to show I have any authority. God is the author and He is the one with complete authority and it matters not if you believe it or not, because those who are not for God are His enemies and that is a sad position to be in with an omnipotent God. The atheist here are the ones who embellish themselves and look to be popular and work to make each other so. I had one atheist who was upset because I had more reps than he/she did. That is sad but shows how the atheist operate around here.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Oh, yes, he's such an authoritative father figure that the world operates as though he doesn't exist until a theist open his mouth to make the wild, unevidenced claim that he does exist.

You;re right, lets make it more binding in the manner of your stated preferences and compulsions to worship.
So, space ship lands on earth. Boss alien -who terraformed this planet and seeded it with life billions of years ago- steps out of ship and says we are all sinners. Says he has a saving grace for us all. Proceeds to have his son brutally tortured and murdered in a theatrical manner. Would you accept his "gift" and be grateful or would you accuse the alien boss of being a sick, twisted mother fucker?
Spot on now..right..after all..you'd worship -me- if I created you and your world.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

At least you recognize my terrible analogy as a work of fiction. Try harder in real life.

A giant asteroid is headed our way. Says he has a saving grace for us all. The only option is to take his spaceship and ram it and the resulting explosion would knock the asteroid offcourse but kill him in the process.

I'd accept his gift and be grateful...

Well, write in universe if you have to...and then your answer is yes. So..it wasnt such a poor analogy after all, now was it?
Though I have to wonder why you;d write out the theologically relevant bits of your own chosen mythology............are you not satisfied with those?
