No monotheistic, omniscient, omnipotent "God" I can conceive of could possible "need" anything, much less the subjucation of little old us.
Cui bono?! Who benefits? Certainly not the God I could possibly conceive of. Who benefits? Who... really... benefits? Why, the men who (claim to) speak for God!
It's all a facade, all a game of control.
