Jeff Holland stumbles through the BBC interview, trying at one point (

Holland's rhetorically asked question implies that the only kind of god Holland can fathom is one that would require a pledge or 'some kind of loyalty'. That is a god that bargains with his creations, barters his blessings in exchange for pledges of loyalty from his creations.
What kind of a god would not do that? Well, Mr Holland, maybe a loving god would not necessarily require that. On the other hand, one that bargains his blessings for sycophantic loyalty from his own creations. What kind of a god is that, Mr Holland? Perhaps a megalomaniac god?
