I was thinking along these lines, too, but I guess I have a bigger
imagination. I imagine that God is the creation of an even greater
entity, who tracks God's every actions. God had to design and create
everything, and he is going to be held accountable for the quality of
his work, and the actions of us humans is what will make or break his
grade. Did God create us with sufficient insight, wisdom and
understanding to live well, or did he screw it up and make us selfish,
greedy and short-sighted? It must be awfully tough to create something
with a consciousness as well as survival instincts, so that was the
test that this über-being gave to God. So when we fall short, it's not
us who will suffer, since we'll be dead, but rather God, who is
immortal, and is responsible for every flaw in humans, since every one
of those flaws was in his design.
No wonder he's threatening us with all sorts of nasty punishments if
we don't act a certain way; it's probably the most effective way he's
figured out to motivate us to act in the way that his master wants us
to.
