If he wants people to worship him, he needs people to know he exists. Especially if we're supposed to believe that he wants us all to go to heaven. As it stands, almost no one on earth will get to heaven, most of which just because they were born in the wrong part of the world.

As far as the metaphor goes, there's nothing in this world that shows it needing a supernatural force to keep it running. Or that supernatural things exist.
