Most so called Christians have invented their own "God" that they worship

Ever wondered why when Christians refer to God he often represents exactly the same values they stand for? Perhaps they have read they whole bible and analysed the Christian/Judeo God to determine what his moral stances are and thus found themselves agreeing with God on everything. This seems very unlikely and may apply to a minority of "wacky" Christians. Rather the God that these Christians claim to worship is one they have invented themselves. They have fine tuned the idea of God given to them by the churches to conform with their own outlook on the world. So you have to ask yourself, is it really the Christian/Judeo God that they are worshiping?
To me God is exactly how he is read in the bible. A psychopathic douche bag that gets pissed off when people start to show him less attention. He constantly needs his ego boosted by worship, so much so that he will cause destruction if he doesn't get enough praise for being "good". I think if many of these Christians as they call themselves would actually bother to read a bible for themselves then they'd see that God certainly does not share the same world view as them.
It seems to me that many Christians would be better defined as monotheists. Monotheism is defined as, "The doctrine or belief that there is only one God." However there is also an element of polytheism in those Christians that believe in a literal Satan. Polytheism is defined as, "The worship of or belief in more than one god." Certainly the power status of Satan in the bible reflects that of a god so it seems fair to classify him as so. Believing in multiple gods does not require that you worship all of them. This is known as Henotheism which is defined as, "Adherence to one particular god out of several."
If anyone has any thoughts to share about this then feel free to comment what you think. This is something that I have noticed for quite some time and felt it was worth writing about. If only more people would come out as Atheist rather than clinging to this concept of God that is a dead cause.
