Is God a dick? [View All]

Why would a supreme being create infinitesimally inferior beings only to turn around and say "worship and fear me otherwise suffer the consequences of eternal damnation"? What exactly would be the point of that? I mean to a supreme being that would be the equivalent of me driving 3000 miles to Southern California just to destroy a small ant colony out in the desert. Wouldn't that be a dickish thing to do? Think about it, he supposedly places us here with no real set instructions and then says "fear me" and if you don't you are going to hell. First of all, I would NEVER subject anybody to eternal damnation. So wouldn't that make me morally superior than God? If I can find compassion where God finds none? How is that possible?
