That's exactly right: GC has now posited a series of actions that, if committed by any other being, he would find to be unacceptably arrogant, self aggrandizing and cruel. Not that he'll see it that way, of course.
I await his trad, insulting response with weary condemnation.
I think that it shows the god of the bible as a reflection of the men that created him. Greedy, arrogant, prone to rage, possessive, sexist, and short sighted. These were men that feared enlightenment, hence it was the evil Satan that humanity the ability to think and weigh good and evil. God wants us as children, just like the leaders of the day that wrote the old testament.
No doubt GC will hit it out of the park with his usual wit and finesse. He is so unlike Jesus it is astonishing.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
