I will not pretend to know what goes on in hell but the bible says there will be gnashing of teeth and fire unquenchable that burns forever. I would rather avoid that fate.

What might you do to avoid that fate? If God tells you to sacrifice your child like old Abraham, do you do it? If God tells you you must impregnate your mother in order to bring forth the return of Christ, do you climb on?

You want to know if we'd worship your god if it clearly existed. I'd like to know what you wouldn't do to avoid hell, or do you still insist that whatever God bids must be right?

The world could be better if people followed Jesus's example and thought about how Christ loved them so much that they do not have to burn in hell because of his sacrifice.

What's in it for me?

Seriously, I've sucked plenty of cock in my day, this would just be swallowing the coming of another dick. I'd have to do a cost/benefit analysis knowing the terms of the deal.

I wont worship any figure, anything that's created such a broken world is a flawed engineer to begin with. Primarily any deity that demands to be worshiped is not worth worshiping.

A god tells me he loves me so much that I should worship him to save me from the punishment he set up in the first place, which is akin to pissing on me and telling me it's raining.

I fail to see what part of that is worthy of worship.

I'd acknowledge his existence. But worship? No. He's too much of a tyrannical maniac to be worth my worship.

No.

I would believe but I wouldn't worship.

Reason: if the Christian god was proven to exist then that would mean that the events of the OT actually occurred and there's nothing that could get me to worship the evil god of the OT.

No.

He would have a lot of explaining to do.

I see no reason to think of myself as a sinner. God never came to me and told me any rules. All I've seen are rules obviously invented by a bunch of ignorant, old, sexually-repressed men who claim to speak in God's name.

If God wants me to behave a certain way, he's welcome to contact me directly about it.

Absolutely. As I've said so often before, I seriously wish there was a god, because I would take extreme pleasure in kicking its arse straight to the hell it delights in inflicting upon others. Such a being as described deserves our condemnation, not our respect, and most certainly not worship. Any human who thought and acted even a fraction of a percent the way Yahweh is supposed to have done would be locked away, or otherwise done away with, as a sociopathic threat to humanity.

What's even more perverse is that there exist people who look at the supposed behaviour of this character and proclaim it good. No wonder religion has been called the natural umbrella of the psychopath.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
