The necessity of social creatures to be able to function as a group is what sets up moral law. If it was objective, this would be the same for all groups, but it commonly breaks down when it comes to outside groups. Like when the isrealites are told they're not to enslave their own people (though with a loophole in place), yet slavery of neighboring tribes is ok.
Like I said. We were created to worship him. To hell with those who don't.
Since I was born in a country where we are expected to have inalienable rights, and our leaders are supposed to be public servants instead of unquestioned overlords, I really don't see the appeal to your dictator of a god. Maybe if i was born in Korea, or some theocratic country, I would be more inclined to worship him. Why would anyone want to worship a god like Yahweh? Why would we not rebel against someone who takes mild disobedience so harshly? Satan wouldn't have to lie to get people to stop following him. Just allow people to take the bible at face value without presupposing that Yahweh is the ultimate good.
Loving god more than your fellow man has caused people to commit atrocities against their kind. even their own family. Why should I love a god that refuses to show himself more than my own family?
