Aristotle would give you a good firm slap.

Then isn't God just playing mind games with us? Why should humans spend all their time worshiping and feeling guilty when it's impossible for us to know what's right?

3. omniscience also genis said he has access to more knowledge to thor..
4. immortality but, genis stated if being long lived and immune to certain conventional death really makes one a god..

The idea of a god is a place holder for things in nature that we do not understand. We still have things we don't understand, therefore, we still have the need for gods. We just call it "dark" now. 😎

No. If I said there was an invisible man in the room, then you might say "where is he?". I set up the circumstances for you to say "he". But if I said there is an invisible person in the room, then you would ask "where is this person".
There is interesting information that can be gathered by answering why a person would say "he". Most likely, it is because the person was raised as a Christian, and therefore, they are talking about a Christian god.
However, there maybe other reasons, and I am always interested in what motivates a person to say one thing over another.
God doesn't need followers. However, humanity (God's children need him). Out of love, God shared his gift of life and made man. The only thing he asks is that we follow his will. Kind of like how an artist wants his audience to view his masterpiece. It took him a few times to realize that following his will may be a bit much to ask for, from creatures whom possess free thought and free will. this is why he gave us his one begotten son. Now, Having had Jesus die for our sins of not following, Gods will. We have the opportunity to be forgiven and find Gods grace once again, if we so choose.
