Does he have the right to kill us, to manipulate us, to demand worship?
Like, I'm talking about "right" as in we aren't allowed to be upset, we have no authority to stand on to challenge him because he made us, he owns us. We have no justification for our rebellion because we were created for his purposes.
To provide a direct answer, NO. However it's more complex from a human psyche perspective.
Would you allow another "human" to manipulate you and demand worship? What makes it ok for a "god" to demand that and treat you that way?
For most people its a fear of the unknown with death. Many will gamble that if they follow "god" they'll avoid "hell".
Problem is there is no proof of either. So it becomes battle of deciding will I risk it because none of this makes sense or will l go along to avoid the fantasy of what might happen.
Strange dilemma for many.
Thanks for posting. Good questiion.
