If Yahweh exists, is he a fraud?

[Drich]

If a creator exists, the probability of it bearing any resemblance to this ridiculous humanoid projection is next to zero in my estimation. I'm sure whatever it is would find these stories pretty insulting, yet surprised people worship it regardless.

I would expect the creator to be unaware of our existence at all, much less the fact that we are self-aware. That's if the creator even realises they created all this in the first place, and it isn't an accidental side-effect of some process or other in its own reality.

Yeah, this^. 

I'll add that I'd give a Creator of Everything a helluva lot more credit than the petty, vengeful beast(s) found in the Bible. The idea that it's obsessed with what what we do with our genitals, how we combine certain foods, and that if we fail to abide by those rules that it'll punish us forever----or that our reward for abiding by those rules is to worship it forever is profoundly silly. 

...And what if those 'rules' were a reflection of a greater purpose or a greater understanding?

What if those petty rules were a simplified version of some pretty heavy stuff, that if we can not be faithful to the small God wants us no where around on a universal scale?

Ever put your kid in charge of something petty (like a gold fish or an ant farm) just to see what they do with the 'power?' Just to see if they would be responsible with something larger like a cat or dog?

Again is it so far out of your wheel house you can't equate us in all of our foolish glory, being nothing more than simple children to God?

But assuming such a thing is eternal, if it did create humans for the specific purpose of worshipping it, it appears that it was just a phase it was going through and has moved on to other things. 

...and if 'worship' wasn't on the menu from the beginning?

Or maybe it graduated Middle School For Gods and has been sent away to a boarding school in Sweden for Gods or something like that. It's just as possible as anything else.

or maybe your the one in school and you are not studying for the final exam.
