A "element of responsibility", as well as any other feelings and desire in humans ,would seem to require a certain ultimately biologically based compulsion whose very existence in turn needs explanation.
For example, in humans, a sense of responsibility to offsprings can be explained by it being beneficial for the sake of passing on your genes. If you feel no sense of responsibility to your offsprings, your offsprings all die. So they are not here to argue for you the case of why it is unnecessary to have any sense of responsbility to your offsprings. So the sense of responsibility only needs to arise by chance, and it will act as its own propagator and preserver. Hence we have sense of responsibility to our offsprings. In essence we are vulnerable to extinction and sense of responsibility lessens our vulnerability.
I can understand why an eternal god, invulnerable to all, and thus conditioned by nothing, would lack any sort of cumplusion that could menifest itself as sense of responsibility. But why would such an god come to possess any compulsion at all, such as the compulsoion to create us to be in "communion" with him?
In otherwords, if he always existed, and was always invulnerable, what would condition him to possess any such traits as have been ascribed to him?
Don't tell me. God smells exactly like creationist's fart not because there is any explanation why god would stink like that, except god just happen to always stink like that.
