Well not burning up in hell is a good motivator if nothing else... That and I do pretty good under the lord as a servant slave, better than most do on their own.

Conclusive proof of the Abrahamic deity would also pretty much proof that many of the events depicted in the bible were true, and NOTHING can get me to worship the monster that is the god of the OT.
which is fine.. to each their own.
my dad and uncle once ganged up on a 16 year old and beat the holy hell out of him. busted his scooter ripped his shirt and blacken both eyes and bloodied his nose. To me and every other 8 year non white kid my dad and uncle were heros. To the 16 year old and his little gang and to the 16 year old parent (who also was dragged out of his house and nuts kicked in my dad and his brother were monsters. just like God is to you..) probably for the same reason. In that God kicked the shit out of your dad and your brothers in the bible... never mind the reason because to you no one has that right to ever to that unless you first approve.
for me I was 8ish and this 16 year old who looked like johnny from the karate kid kicked the living shit out of me nearly every single day of my life for almost 6 months.. cops were called parents were warned and this bastard did not care. he'd stop for a few days and then beat me more for ratting him out. there was this little mexican kid down the street who also got it. the white kids all worshiped him though. So my father got his brother to simply watch his back (kept the gang of his buddies from jumping my dad) and he kicked the hell out of him in front of his little gang of kids.
The point? a father watch out for his and his own... If you can only see wrong in what God done then you are not of him or belong to him. You belong to God's enemy . That can change... but only if you can get over your sense of right and wrong being better/more important that what God has established.
