I have a newborn. I created her. I am her God.
When she cries out to the heavens for food, or a diaper change, I provide.
What do you do with this notion you've had since birth of an all powerful being that provides for you? You transfer it to an unseen imaginary friend. You keep the idea because it provides comfort and simply shift it away from your parents.

You have once more completely missed the point of the OP

I've never worshipped my parents as gods...
I also don't assume their responsibilities when I was a child equate to the creation & upkeep of everything that ever existed or will exist.
Your logic is infantile.

Actually its much more complicated than that. Many of us spend half of our lives laughing at religious people and tearing down their "ridiculous fairytales" until we realize that the scientific explanations for our existence are much more ridiculous than those found in religious texts.
What you should honestly ask yourself is why you're so scared of God being real.
We are not scared of god. Why is this always brought up. We do not believe in gods as there is no good reason to believe your claims that they exist.

What's ridiculous is how the Christian God has changed over the last couple of thousand years, and how there are so many interpretations of the texts that are allegedly written through divine inspiration
