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?
Short fiction, based on some fairly uncommon premises, mostly sci-fi or supernatural in nature. Some based around religion and how the slightest weirdness actually happening generates a frenzy of insanity. Also zombies.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
