Is God A Narcissist?

I just finished reading this post:

It’s a rebuttal of sorts to someone who said God is a narcissist – it sort of reminded me of that time I called God an asshole. lol The post itself isn’t that great – it’s just a circular argument about how God isn’t a narcissist because he really is better than us.
Well, God is an asshole, a torturer, and a masochist, but is he a narcissist, too? Let’s explore this…
First off, let’s define narcissist. Not because I think you’re stupid, but because not everyone knows weird-ass words like that. A narcissist is someone who is obsessed with him or herself and thinks they are better than everyone and that everyone else should worship them (not literally, except in the case of God or maybe Jim Jones).
As I first stated in my first post*, “Fuck the Ten Commandments,” God is clearly obsessed with self-gratification. Really, he has a chance to tell us anything he wants, anything, and he says “Don’t misuse my name” and “Worship me!”
The Old Testament also commands that if one of your friends or family members wants to worship a different god, you should kill them immediately.
That is classic narcissistic behavior – God claims to be the greatest thing to ever exist and wants everyone to spend their entire lives sucking up to him because he is so much better than them.
I’d say that’s pretty damn narcissistic.
I could probably write a little more on this topic, but I’d say that sums it up pretty nicely.

*Actually my first post was about how pigs are assholes, but I thought if it stayed up no one would take my whiny ass seriously
My post was written in a hurry and it is brief. Much better arguments (by Witherington and Piper) appear on the links given on the bottom of the post.
P.S. Why are you so angry at God - especially if he does not exist?
Yeah, I checked on the links and they basically said the same thing you did.
And I’m not angry, I’m just not very nice.
“And I’m not angry, I’m just not very nice.”
It’s true lol
That should be my new byline instead of “protecting the world from theist douche baggery.”
“I’m anot angry, I’m just not very nice.”
Hmm… It’s got a ring to it.
lol it should be that does have a ring to it, and true as hell, i have never actually seen you mad, your just not always nice.
I’m kind of passive aggressive mean, so I’m more not nice than enraged.
