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

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.
