And I'd say a generic "God" certainly doesn't imply an afterlife, or anything else really. It just means something made our universe. It certainly doesn't follow that any of the old wives' tales about it have any truth.
No, but if there is a personal god which wields tese powers, it is very important to know what it is up to and what it thinks in order to try and avoid an eternity of unpleasant torment, just in case...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
