He isn't merciful. He only cares about himself and what will benefit him.

by definition God is the source of all moral authority.

What do people conceive of when they think "God' ? I believe most conflate a number of different ideas into a single entity without realizing those ideas do not have to go together.
Example
God created the universe
God created Life
God created Earth
God created Humans
God cares about humans a lot
God has rules for humans to follow
God's rules are morally good, as opposed to whatever he thought of at the time time.
God is all Knowing
God knows the future
God does not change his mind
God loves mankind
God is logical
and on and on.
When you break it down these attributes do NOT all have to exist and do not have to exist in the same entity .
If you look at the Romans/Greeks their concept of Gods were different. The Olympian Gods (Zeus,Posieden,Hades) did not create the world. The world came into being with Chaos giving birth to Gaia. The Olympians did not create humans either. It was the Titans that did so. But it was the Olympians that ruled the world and made the rules. But their rules were neither moral nor immoral. It was simply the rules as they liked them.
Who is to say the creator of the universe and the creator of humanity is the same being ? Who is to say God has a special plan for humans ? Who is to say the entity that cares about humans is the same one that created them ? Maybe God did change his mind between the time of Jesus and the time of Muhammed as to what the rules for living were ?

Your theory still needs the precursor of a need to believe.So what?

Why are you even bothered about what people choose to believe? If God decided that she only wanted people that worshiped into her afterlife neighborhood than so be it.
For some of the rest of us I think we are quite happy to deal with whatever we faced with. some with reincarnation, some as compost (me) but there should never be a point where one really believes their religion is above another one and that all should comply to their way of life.
BTW, posting toots like this is really going to wonders for your business...and the thread title still contradicts itself as much as you seem to do
