Is God a selfish egomaniac?

If God wants our praise, doesn't that make him selfish? Well, we praise some excellence in someone else, and God has all excellences in perfect degree. And, praise doesn't add anything to the one being praised: they already have that excellence. So God doesn't need our praise, it's actually for our benefit.

P.S. Be a hero today

Instead of caring about our suffering all he ever cares about is his will.

God is not selfish for requiring worship because it does not benefit him, it solely benefits us. As someone who has had this question for so long, this was the answer that made sense.

For humans I don't think it's possible to be both a sociopath and a psychopath but apparently for God it's not only possible it's completely evident.

Lol last one about us owing God something. Uum I don't remember asking him to create me as far as I'm concerned it wouldn't have mattered but HE chose to do it therefore he must take responsibility for his creation but no he says: it's all on us to do basically everything while be sits and watches like a freak.

I think you have a lot of insight and I respect that. A lot of Christians like to think they know the answers when they really don't. I can only speak for myself as an Ex-Christian. Try to serve God, try to obey him. Things only got worse. No answered prayers, no help, and no support.

My question is if a Christian finally gives up on God because God, for whatever reason chose not to intervene on their behalf, is it their fault?

There's only so much a person can take. God's going to send them the hell because he didn't help them when they needed it?

I left it because of that. I'm angry at him and I can't get over it. Doesn't change what happened in the past. Can't trust him now. I would be lying if I repented and acted like everything was good when deep down it isn't.

He may not be an egomaniac but he's definitely not a god of love. I know this isn't related to the video but I feel like I need to vent because you know how to answer.

God is selfish because he plays favorites and predestines people to their eternal destiny from the beginning of time.
You know he could have started out the world as described in the book of revelation, with the new Earth and heaven but choose not to. He still decided to create Satan and all the wicked people and beings and to what end ? Just so he can claim to have defeated his created enemies and torment them eternally ?
