Yeah, totally sounds like a guy worthy of worship. Right up there with Kim Il Sung and Leopold II. Sounds like a great guy. Really.The burning is karmic and electromagnetic for those who put up resistance to Consciousness. It is God's grace that you don't immediately self incinerate for violating the laws of natural counter balance. Aka free will to make choices and suffer the benefit or deficit thereof in time so that you may learn from them
No, I wouldn't (willingly) worship the god of the bible. Even if I did believe he existed. He sounds like a terrible deity, and I'm not sure why everyone thinks he's so great (aside from the fact that he agrees with many of their prejudices). The biblical god is love in the same way that Lord Voldemort is a friend of Harry Potter. That is to say, not at all. If anything he's an enemy of love. There's enough hate inspired by his religion that I can't really see how he'd be anything else.
There's nothing that makes him worthy of worship. "Worship him because he's all powerful" is basically saying that might makes right.
I worship God because of that power of judgment to cleanse me of error I'd otherwise have no way of knowing or correcting. I try to I make myself fluent to consciousness. I do not hide from errors I find in myself, I do not resist my own feeling of "wrongness", I do not make excuses. I am grateful for the correction. It is a constant self pruning and retraining for good fruit.
I have experienced the fire of God that consumes inconsistency. I decided to save us both the further "trouble" and do it myself.
Oddly enough, I don't need dire threats to hold myself accountable.
To the OP's question, I'd never worship the Abrahamic god.
