I would have to believe.
I wouldn't worship the monster of the Old Testament.
He may of been dealing with evil monsters of men, but He was incredibly patient and merciful.

The 'one' described in the Bible ???
According to the Lutherans ? Eastern Orthodox ? Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints ? United Brethren ? Nazarene ? Gibsonites ? Church of Glad Tidings ? Church of God in Christ ? African Episcopal ? Church of Scotland ? Church of the Lamb ? Hutterites ? Mennonites ? Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints ? Coptic Christians ? Southern Baptist ? Anabaptist ? Church of Christ ? Methodist ? Church of the Blessed ? Jehovah's Witness ?
Guess wrong and burn. For all of ETERNITY.
I assume the church you attend is coincidentally The One True Church.
Where in the Bible does it say that there are denominations? You are either a believer or not. Simple.

Spit in it's all-mighty eye. If that old-testament beast is real, I'm fucked anyway. Might as well.
Of course, there is NO evidence that your all-mighty terrorist, monster god exists.
Do you wink at the great evil of men throughout history and hold contempt towards God?

What the fuck sort of stupid question is that? You are basically saying this:
"Lets just say that I'm right and you are wrong. Would I then be right?"
Good thing you are wrong, dumbass.
Sir, no. I am asking if you actually believed in God, even the one of the Bible, what would you do with that?

I would because hell sounds scary. Do you want me to lie?
Too bad hell isn't real...
I wish it wasn't either. I also wish cancer wasn't real either.

Let's assume that Hitler was God, knowing that he existed does that make you want to worship him if it meant spending eternity with him after you die?
Did Hitler die to save mankind?

but, is that the cafeteria bible so widely used today where only the convenient verses apply to the 'believers' and ALL the verses apply to the pagans, heathens, sinners, queers, liberals, union members, and uppity women ??
not sure what you are saying

I used to truly believe there was a god and he was the god of the bible. I "defiantly" rejected him a little over a year before I was brave enough to branch out and learn some science and accept that he wasn't real. So yea, been there done that, got the tshirt.
Seems like God's warning that there would be a great falling away at the end rings more true reading your post.

Its a depressing thought.
I'd accept he existed but he doesn't seem worthy of worship. After all, 30% of all the angels in heaven can't be wrong.....
Satan is pretty cunning considering he duped 1/3 of the angels and a vast majority of mankind.
