Factoring out structural, historical and aesthetic issues, one of my growing problems with monotheism is the horrible, lonely fate the adherents create for their monogod. It's just cruel.

Jah forgive us
For forgetting
Jah help us
We need more loving
See the teachers
Are representing you
So badly
That not many can see you

Jah calls the ones whose
Beliefs kill children too
Feel the love of you and be healed
And may we all cry too
For representing you
So badly so badly

Jah forgive us
For forgetting
Oh jah help us
To be forgiving
The teachers are representing you
So badly that not many can see you

I honestly think you're ascribing too much to a perspective that isn't yours, and it doesn't seem productive to burn energy on. The monotheist view incorporates both a holistic integration of a One God viewpoint - He/whatever is complete and sufficient enough in *-self, in their view - and/or the creation of other sentient beings is for the creation of relationship, versus self-contemplation.
