text: whats the difference between a god&a dictator. i have built this world,worship me,and obey my rules,or else? the prize for being good little boys and girls is you get to go to the kingdom of heaven. saddam's prize was you get to live without torture. maybe i am wrong but you do worship a god and you do obey his/her rules for fear of punishment in the after life. same as the difference between a parent and a dictator.  the parent as not only the right but the obligation to set the limits, enforce the rules, and raise the child to be a good responsible adult.  otherwise they would be abusers.  same with god.  has the creator he is obligated to raise up mankind to be moral and responsible.  that requires laws, rules, and obedience.
