Fans of “Seinfeld” fondly remember the Soup Nazi, a belligerent cook who made such great food that customers battled long lines during short lunch breaks to grab a bowl. If someone made it all the way to the counter and then took too long deliberating which soup to buy, the Soup Nazi shouted, “No soup for you!” and kicked the person out of the line.
The character is funny because he’s obnoxious, over-the-top and clearly not as terrible as a real Nazi. But would we want such an “endearing” being as our God?
If this were the extent of it, perhaps we could accept arbitrary bans against common pleasures.
