I've always found it weird that an all powerful being would create 7 billion people just so they can all band together to say how awesome s/he is. And if for whatever reason you don't do it, you will be punished FOR EVER! That is just bizarre
Not only that, we also get to fight it out with regards to which "version" of him/her is more accurate.
Not to mention, the Christian version suggests he already had Angels whose job it was to do that anyway, clearly that wasn't enough so s/he had to go that extra mile.
