God (That's Why I Love Mankind)

God is the main antagonist of the song "God's Song (Why I Love Mankind)" by Randy Newman. In it, he is far from the benevolent God that is traditionally believed.

Biography
In the song, God is depicted as a cruel, vindictive entity who despises mankind, considering them lower than the cactus flower. Essentially, according to God, mankind means nothing to him aside from being his personal toys. God references several of the atrocities that he had committed on humanity such as causing Cain to murder his brother Abel, or condemning several of the Israelite children to death. Mankind in unison asks God why all these bad things happen to which God exposes himself as a narcissistic monster who revels in his evil deeds, but at the same time, he also "loves" mankind because of their endless worship of him in spite of tormenting them.

God talks about how he and his heavenly hosts would laugh it up in Heaven while watching mankind's suffering, taking pleasure in their undying devotion to him. God was also responsible for the destruction of several cities which he demolished with fire and for taking the lives of his believers' followers. Once more, anytime God commits an abominable act, the believers in the song choose to view everything he does as being part of his divine plan.
