People criticize God because they disagree with Him, and they disagree with Him because they believe they should have dominion over what they themselves can or cannot do. That's just how our natures work.
To have dominion over God is to tyrannize Him, to force Him to put up with sin. This He will not do.
I would avoid making assertions about what other people do in a way that only requires one exception to prove you wrong.
The main thing wrong with the concept of God, completely aside from how some of his followers portray him, is that he's indistinguishable from other fictional characters that some people believe are real, but actually are probably not, in my estimation, the only estimation I can have. I don't think Vishnu is real, and it's certainly not because I want dominion over him or want his throne, it's just that the evidence for him being real is unconvincing to me; even though hundreds of thousands of people find him completely plausible. And the idea that not believing in Vishnu gives me some sort of dominion over him doesn't seem to follow at all. If Vishnu is real, my believing or not believing in him should not affect him in the slightest.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
