   We are the gods now. However this doesn’t rule out that there is a more perfected being somewhere in the Universe, active or not.

   While we may disagree about which laws should be enacted, we all have a set of laws we would want to see the government pursue and enforce. If any of us were given the chance to be President, we would inevitably have some set of behaviors we would prefer and a set of laws and policies we would attempt to advance. The fact we are upset that God would also have similar desires is ultimately a bit ironic.

   To call God a “dictator” requires us to dictate God’s behavior (to require God to behave just as we prefer).
