Why does an Omnipotent God need followers?

Symmetric Chaos, you have no point.

Indeed, how dare I try to hold other to a basic standard of logic. Ridiculous.

Then you recognize that the argument you gave was totally nonsensical?

The point was made that we need god. My point was that sense we have made up untold numbers of gods, that suggests there is no god. Just because you disagree with me is not a point.

I was waiting for "I disagree and this is why..." To just come on and say you disagree, even with flair, is still not a point.

If God is real, than is a simply a source of morality and order, or is he an actual entity such as Zeus or Odin? If it is the latter, than why is He presupposing that he is the source of all morality? Does this mean that omniscience grants perfection?

Simply put, he doesn't. But God is Love, thus being loving..I believe he creates people for his good(righteous) pleasure. So thus being men(and pseudo creators ourselves) we should follow that same example.

When it comes to God, we humans are always wrong. 😄

All for love.

To love him.

Omniposent, ladies and germs. I think they make a cream for that these days.

Anyway, to answer your question, being the only thing in existence ever wouldn't be so bad. It would require context for that person to be lonely....a frame of reference. Otherwise it's all you'd ever know.

Besides, this is projecting human emotions onto the deity of all creation, which is absurd in the first place.

your right so basically we cant really tell the answer because were not omnipotent and have no idea how a omnipotent being even thinks...

Pretty much. Agnosticism or vague theism is much more defensible. But when I see "one true gods" acting petulant and flawed (see also: Old Testament, Koran, etc.) our ability to worship them as infallible and omnipotent just seems silly.

pretty sure either homer simpson or chef from south park answered that question

Also, the idea of an omnipotent god that needs is self contradicting.

does not need. But according to Christianity, God wants to know which humans would love/follow him.
