That behavior indicates ignorance in the nature of what he himself created; and ignorance is enough to erase the justification of righteousness in the crusade he waged against his creations.

Actually; that's a pretty unstable tyrant, that creates things he isn't sure about their behavior; or future moves. Getting angry if they went against his expectations. That looks more of a pile of emotional confusion that needs education and anger management.
Doesn't it, though?  OFC, what about a god that -did- know what his creations would do..created them..and went jihad on their asses for it?  Six of one, a half dozen of the other.

No; your opinion is called "Anthropomorphism":


Quote:Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities.[1] It is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology.[2]

God according to my opinion is more of a system. Our minds tends to simplify things by attributing our own personal traits -that we understand- to beings either of Godly nature; or foreign, strange nature.

The simpler you are in terms of mind; the more you will commit Anthropomorphism. Because simply: you cannot make your mind move to think in an abstract way.

So Venus and Mars are born as piles of rock thought to be living Gods.

Quite an old concept if you ask history.
