Have you ever noticed the similarity between God and a dictator? Both claim to love you and both demand unconditional loyalty in return. If you criticise a dictator you sent to a concentration camp and if you criticise God you are sent to Hell. Like a dictator, God’s word is law. Whatever he says goes. No matter how cruel or absurd it is, no dissent is tolerated. The Old Testament is a list of the brutal crushing of everyone who disagreed with God. Whole civilisations were exterminated for not bowing down before him. His behaviour is that of a megalomaniac tyrant.

Blind obedience is what is required most and like a tyrant, God’s ego needs constant feeding. Creating the universe apparently wasn’t enough, he also needs every town and village to have a monument to him. His subjects must constantly praise him, while asserting how worthless they are compared to him. Christians aren’t required to bow before him like Muslims, the line is drawn at kneeling.

Like a totalitarian dictator God aims to control every aspect of his subjects’ life. There are rules guiding almost everything people do. The Old Testament contains over 650 laws that we are supposed to obey (though Christians have silently and without explanation have ignored most of these rules). Even thought crime is punished. There is no escape from this celestial dictatorship that is everywhere, knows everything and can do anything. It is a nightmare worse than 1984.

God is a not a dictator if he is a dictator why did he give humanity freewill and God does not need worshipping you worship God for your own sake.

God is complete and self satisfied he does not need outside validation

Why put worms close to bird nest when you don't want them to eat it ?

If you takes God's control of his creation as him being a dictator then your are wrong...


God takes control of what he created and that doesn't make him a dictator.
