    Sure.
    God is not interested in mere obedience. He has no need to pull gameplays from the book of some mundane despotic leader.

    God is the model for despotic leaders.
    There is nothing mere about total obedience.

    Then it begs the question why despotic leaders tend to demand total obedience and God does not.

    The same one you are ... or at least I thought that was the case until it suddenly dawned on you that apparently you have no clue who you are talking about

    Yeah, do you also believe in Santa Claus?!

    Oh wait, sorry ... I messed that up. I got the sequence mixed up and responded out of turn.

    Just ignore this so we can go back to the regular format of droll, gormless atheistic caricatures of religion.

    Musika, whether or not SiaSL does or does not know what he's talking about - in your opinion - he has asked for clarification of the subject (which God exactly), indicating that may be in contention. He gets to do that.

    In good faith, you really should provide an answer, or it ends up being you who is interfering with the flow of the discussion.

    When the religious can't explain, define, or show any evidence whatsoever of their belief, we have no choice but to present what we see as the reality of the situation, that the naturalistic worldview prevails.

    Santa Claus is practice for preparing gullible children for an even more damaging lie, that faith itself is a virtue.

    Don't you know the difference between 'God', and 'gods'
