Are you serious? First, I make no judgement as to whether the character you portray as God is an asshole. Absurd, yes; asshole, maybe. Second, this is the exact sort of nonsense I was just describing. That a fictional portrayal is judged one way or another says nothing about that person's belief or lack thereof in its actual existence.
I do, why should we not judge the parameters humans assign this character they claim is real? I am dead serious. If humans behave in the same selective manor this claimed being did, "playing god", those humans who try to play god get reacted to negatively by those outside their supporters.
Again, in real life, if we find out kids are being abused or neglected, at least in the west moreso, we remove the kids when we find out and the parents get arrested.
We should judge these claims, because bad claims can lead to justifications to harm others. It is why while you have the right to teach your kid any religion you want, you can still be arrested for harming your kids or neglecting your kids basing it on a religious superstition.
I would only agree that humans want their god/s portrayed in a good light, sure. But when it comes to comparing their claims to what we observe in reality, it still remains the logic does not match what we observe.
