Neither do you, but that only seem to promote your confidence in asserting exactly what he is, as if the act of overconfidence alone sufficies to entitle you to be taken seriously.

It's true, not many people really understand god.

Many people understand that there is nothing to understand.

Lokki has every right to ask such a question. Let's pretend for a brief moment that "God" really exists. With an ego his size would it be any worse spending eternity with satan? They are both narcissists who loved to be feared and worshipped. The almighty loving god only came around in the NT but him and the OT god are both the same entitiy no matter how you theists like to cherry pick that point.

If he supposedly died for our sins, then why are we still suffering today with natural disasters and wars in his name? He must really love sitting back and watching this non-stop reality show. If he is turly the Almighty then couldn't he have prevented any of it? I find it disturbing that he refuses to throw any grains of evidence our way and yet expects us to never waiver in our faith. If he did create us then he also created our power to think and question. So in truth he is saddistic and set us up to fail in the first place.

None of these points matter anyway since he doesn't exist.

Would it matter? All regligions have a supreme being/beings in them. Anyone who considers himself a god expects to be worshiped and anybody who expects to be worshipped has a humungous ego that I want nothing to do with.

What about buddhism.

RE: Thiests - Assuming God exists, why should we worship him?
If you were a Buddhist, you wouldn't have listed yourself as a theist. A theist believes in a deity, by definition, and if you believe in a deity, you think that deity deserves worship. Are you being dense on purpose?

So the answer to my question is yes then. You are, in fact, being dense on purpose. Stop it.
