God is sometimes referred to as a father. Does a normal, balanced father insist on worship from his children? Or is he content when his children lead productive, meaningful lives and are happy? Occasionally, religious or political despots have acted Jehovah-like causing much suffering.
Of course, if a human father sat idly by watching his children die in a tsunami wave, many courts would consider this akin to child endangerment or gross negligence. If a human father testified that he allowed his children to suffer because he was protecting his own name and reputation he would certainly not be respected as a father.
Additionally, a self-confident, omnipotent, omnicient being does not need to be told how great he is. If he is a creator, the success, beauty, power, intelligence and well-being of his creation proves it.
