This fictitious god would be more believable than the ones being proffered about by theists. I am not whining, you seem to be. I hold myself to higher standards than any god man has invented in their own minds (more to follow)

I bet you sin everyday voiding the chance that a GOD would ever want to perform all these tasks for you.

No I do not sin, you theists do project much don't you. I am sinless, I obey the laws of the land, never cheated on my wife been married 26 years (together nearly 29 years)
Yes I was intimate with about 30 lasses prior to meeting my wife but was even then a serial monogamist.

Why do you allow yourselves to be enslaved by political leaders, why dont you goddamn humans take a stand for yourself.

We are slaves to the system as that is the way society has evolved. Little has changed from the times of aristocracy to what exists today.
South Africa probably has the youngest modern constitution and it works (only 17 years old) and why does it work? It is 100% secular devoid of any religious connotations.

Actually respect GOD and maybe one day he will give you everything you require until then do it yourself

"Maybe" is not a good enough reason to believe in fantasy.
I expect no imaginary fella to do anything for me or anyone else for that matter because he is imaginary. He only exists in the minds of men.
I can rely on my fellow man better because he is real, sucking up to your boss even though you may detest him leads to positive results, better performance appraisals better increases (before the world economy tanked). Being kind to your fellow man brings rewards of mutual respect and tolerance and is the right thing to do devoid of any imaginary god edicts. Society operates this way over most of the world where the imaginary gods are relegated to their respective temples and form no part of the greater culture of the land and its laws.
Even your god has no bank account or assets and his priests/representatives need your donations to survive and exist, my employer or customer however has money to pay for my services.
The whole point of the OP was to show what attributes we atheists would consider a god to be respected would have. It is a higher standard than our own by virtue that there would be no inequality and that if anything needed fixing, he would do it likely w/o having to be begged to do it. Can your god fix anything w/o having to suck up first? The sucking up takes place and nothing happens, perhaps he has you on ignore?
Meanwhile back in reality, we all rely on the tangible things like medicine/science and the system to survive as very few of us till the lands or hunt and gather any more. This is the reality we live in.
The atheist god would really be in charge if it existed because the evidence of its existence would require no faith, it would be self apparent. It would be nice in magic could fix stuff we screw up but alas in the real world, magic is but an illusion.
