A simple way I’ve been touching on this for a while is what I call “The problem of existence”: why would god create a non-divine existence such as our selves?

Put aside evil. If God is all three omnis, why make something that is lesser? I figure that the answer is they themselves must also be lesser than the three omnis.

Idk people like being in charge of stuff and not being bored maybe God would be the same way

Then god is a simple, petty bitch; unworthy of worship — the end.

Only if a lesser existence is somehow inherently bad. A desire to create a lesser existence could arise from the intersection of the ideals of "not causing existential chaos by creating equal beings" and "wanting to create life"
