It seems that he needs us to worship and obey him just as much as we "need" him. If everyone has free will, what if everyone chose to disobey him and follow Satan? According to him, the whole world would go to Hell, and he would be sitting alone in heaven with his thumb up his ass. What good does that do anyone?
With no proof of an afterlife, wouldn't it behove him to give us some incentive in THIS life to follow him?

See, this part I never understand. If God is a perfect being/entity then why would he be jealous? Jealousy is a human emotion. The bible also states that he is a loving God but also vengeful or something along those lines. Again, two more human emotions. Why would a perfect being NEED to be constantly worshiped by his creations? it doesn't make any f
ucking sense imo.
