It's indeed depressing to face a God's idea where he is either your Master for whom you are something of a slave(Got very ill - praise the lord, reason for the sickness is your sinfulness). Or his "filtering system" will have to respond in extremely disproportionate way.
Try this on for size: a quote* from Dan Barker,

Quote:“Asking, "If there is no God, then what is the purpose of life? " . . .{* = modified}
is like asking: "If there is no master, then whose slave will I be? "
"If your purpose in life is to submit as a slave, then your
meaning comes from flattering the ego of a ' person '
whom you should detest".
There are no atheists in terrorist training camps.
