Comparing god to a Narcissist.

[Smaug]

This issue has been brought up numerous times but I'll reiterate anyway: it's strange why would God even need worship from anyone? People are basically social animals whose psychology is built in such a way that they have self-appraisal, they need approval, worship, feeling of supremacy and other feelings that have to do with their place in social life. These behavioristic pattens are basically coded in human DNA. God, on the other hand, is implied to be alone. He is also implied to be superior to humans in all aspects. He has nothing to proove to anybody. To say it straight, aformentioned concepts are logically foreign to him. But the myth tells us that God is not a completely alien entity. He shares at least some similiarities with humans. This means that he may share said patterns, too. So if he's completely alone but has these patterns he must be some sort of 'Mowgly' in terms of psychology. All this makes completely no sence outside of the myth but still.

While in the Bible he actively demands attention from his creation in such a way that there are only two logical conclusions: he plays a game to entertain himself or he has some psyhological issues. Both ways imply that he had been aware of aformentioned concepts from the beginning which leads to a conclusion that he's not alone and there are other gods.

Such is a way of reasoning if you reason from within the myth. On the other hand, it's a well-known conclusion that people make gods in their image.
