Nobody calls you a god or insists that you are all-powerful, either. Nobody claims that you set the objective standard for righteousness and that human morality is determined by what you, personally, consider to be right and wrong. You're just another flawed and fallible mammal like the rest of us. You should not be held to a higher standard because nobody claims that you're totally perfect and created the entire universe.
Which, if you haven't guessed yet, is kinda the point here.
