Samuel Beckett and God

What did God do before the Creation? Play with the Void? Is Creation the reason for God? Without the creation is God pointless? Why did the monotheistic God create man to destroy man? It is a relentless creation more to do with eternal misery with the ON creation switch never off. Is humanity's existence just the dreadful joke and game of a remote and bored God who could do his own thing without ever having to have any connection with his creation but instead dives in occasionally as a hunter in sport and slaughters millions and then dives out again. The rainbow is a marker for Gods murderous habits. Creativity through music, art, literature and not having children seems to be the best way to put a spanner in the mechanism of God's relentless generations of mankind. God wants idiots to reproduce millions of people for zillions of years until some day the off switch is found but the off switch has not been created yet by a God who has grown bored with his own creation. Does God long for the void and to wipe out the useless boring creation that means now nothing except how tediously familiar it is? That's the Beckett question.
