When you say God which one do you mean?
This is a descriptor like planet and human. So when using descriptor please add name or you look dumb. Sick and tired of unnamed descriptor being used as a cover all.
On the subject of creation just why would an infinite omnipotent creator create a creation and then ask for belief and prayer worship?
This does not make any logical sense whatsoever.
..But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”
John 4: 23-24
New Living Translation
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
John 14:6

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

What if the 'God additive' is absolutely essential to understanding how to overcome the enemy that we face? What if the entire point of the enemy's work over the past several centuries has been to drive God out of the structure of our thinking, and in their ultimate objective, to destroy a great percentage of living humans, so that they can then terrorise & control all remaining humans forevermore?
What if the plan to resist this infernal enemy hangs on people taking a stand & trusting that God Himself is the architect of the plan? Wouldn't you be happy to have God involved if that was the point?
What if everything you've ever heard about God is either a lie, a half-truth, or an unfortunate 'lost-in-translation' problem? Wouldn't you be keen to hear the truth from a place of deep knowledge if that was the case?
Do you not see that in a universe where humans enjoy things about life naturally, that the very author of life made it that way on purpose? Why does everyone think that life with God cannot be enjoyable?** Is it because phrases such as 'religious diatribe' are deliberately engineered insults which are at least 200 years old, just like 'conspiracy theorist' was invented by the CIA in the fifties - the purpose of which is to deceive both the person using the phrase & the people who hear/read the use of the phrase. It is deliberately designed to make you think that everything being said by the religious person is utterly irrelevant, useless, boring, a waste of time & potentially sinister.
Even though there is a lot to wade through in the OP (as I acknowledge above, with apologies), could you consider that there may be something of importance in amongst it all, which perhaps is the reason the communicator is so passionate about communicating the message? Surely it's worth picking through it somewhat to make sure, if the primary observation is that there is a literally diabolical conspiracy which aims to bring a definitive end to the world order, and that the timeline is imminent?

"Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said,
“Awake, O sleeper,
rise up from the dead,
and Christ will give you light.”
Ephesians 5: 11-14

"Wow, I just saw something that can only be explained if God is real & is working through this Black Swan Event to help topple the devilish conspiracy which clearly holds the world's people in its grip.
Now I can take steps to act, to do my part in destroying these evil criminals, to help take back the world in the name of all that is good & holy."
