Yep, it makes no sense. An omnipotent God couldn't reasonably be the slightest bit impressed or interested in something as simple as us. It would be like us getting excited about ants moving towards us.

The whole thing is utterly ridiculous. If he wants to feel loved and praised through free will of others, he could just simulate that feeling in himself whenever he wants, to whatever intensity he wants. He has no need to actually go through the motions of anything.

Of course, if you turn it around and say God is created by us in our image, it all makes perfect sense.
