He was modeled after despots. In those days, there were numerous depots in that part of the world, and many gods were created in response to that despotic rule, the Abrahamic god being no exception.

Yes, in part. The God we find in most religions are created by man in his imagine, horrible warts and all. They also in some places inserted their better attributes. So what you end up with is a confusing, contradictory hodgepodge deity. A deity truly modeled after the human race. You can tell a lot about a person I find by what parts of the deity they choose to latch onto. Many identify and personify the attributes that are reflected in themselves, for better or worse.

I have no knowledge of what god you are speaking of but I do know that The One True God that created man is the God I choose to worship.

Yes, much like many of the kings of the day.
Men create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life.

Yeah. At least in past cultures, they had multiple Gods, some kind, some angry.
Judeo-Christian tradition rolled it all into one.

If God was created by man...but, this God lived before us (i.e., man)...then your question doesn't make any sense.

Yes. But the real God who reveals himself in the Bible is not.

any God that was created by man isn't a God. Thank goodness there is A God that wasn't created and always was and is and will be
