Just a thought

Don't ask me why I suddenly thought of this. Am reading The Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy and interestingly this popped up:

"The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."

If this was the case, and God did exist, would he/she/it/whatever be classed as a dictator? It's a matter of opinion what constitutes right and wrong, so all these battles, wars of the passed (not involving Nazi's etc, but throughout even English history say) based on religion, would these Kings etc (God representatives) not be dictators in the same way as Mussolini or Hitler: providing God was proven to be real? Being that he/she/it/whatever doesn't (in terms of proof) it seems like it's justification to fight etc.

Or if there was this God character is real form, would many people follow them? Faith is a funny thing.
