...I am truly a god. I have created life and pushed it according to my will; Whole universes have sprung up from my mind, with countries and histories and unique fauna. My creations follow my will, but they still sometimes find ways to surprise me; for even I, their creator and the one ultimately in control of their life, cannot fully control them. And you cannot deny any of this. Why?
Because I am a writer. Everything I just said is 100% true, which makes me a rather impotent, asocial, and insecure god.

Ever see Stranger Than Fiction? I mean, I like your analogy, but when you really look at it, it's kind of impossible not to see the writer/god character as an asshole (and as a writer myself, it's not a pleasant thought) so it's no coincidence when you look at the concept of gods objectively, they look like douchebags.

That's why I have more respect for the Norse, Greek, and Roman gods. The people who worshiped them were under no illusions that the gods are vindictive, petty, and mercurial. Those gods treated humans like toys in a cosmic game of D&D; and the Christian god isn't so different, except that he is supposed to be omni-benevolent; an assertion that is easily disproved by humans having no gills yet living on a planet of 71% water.

Off-topic, but what do you write?
"I hate people who blame the Devil for their own shortcomings and I hate people who thank God when things go right."
