"God" is a child in another much more advanced civilization in another reality. He is playing with toys, and he has no idea that they have somehow become aware. It would give us the illusion of free will, but actually this child is pulling all the strings. Sometimes he makes us "naughty", and then punishes us. It's just a game to him, he doesn't realize the suffering he is causing.
Can you draw any parallels between your Stephen king idea of God and what the bible actually says or do you just really think you have a correct view of God?
Let's pretend you truly know nothing about God in any way shape or form outside of the the word God and a general sense of what He is supposed to be.
Now, how would you go about validating your version of God? Now what if again, you were 100% wrong about everything? Woould you continue down your path of a god of your own making so you could (in your own mind win arguments) or would you IDK maybe ask a question or 2 about the vast difference between your version of God and the God of the bible your version keeps fall short of?
