God is blameless in this

God creates man and mortal things because God has fallen in love with His own creation and wishes for creation to be more like Himself and thus contain every possible manifestation of the Good

By virtue of your existence, you already depend on Him. Anything that exists thus depends on Him. He can thus be described as omnipotent. Being omnipotent is not the same as being a tyrant, however. If the true nature of what a thing is is good (and it is), then how could He ever suffer to destroy such a thing by His own hand?
