Why bother? (I hate to say the above paragraph, and it's not what i think really happens. I thing your goodness lives on and is recorded. it transforms into something meaningful - and never dies)
I think god has attributes that are worthy - like goodness, love, truth, beauty, personality, courage. They shine out of god.
Not out of proportion.
Its a poor reason to do good things. "Why do you love me?". "Because i'm afraid of what you'll do if i don't love you".
fear needs to be kept in it's place - keeping you alive in the biological sense. it has no business in the spiritual matters though.
Happy funland is a giant family, we are all family, brothers and sisters with god as our father. greater and greater challenges and growth, helping eachother find the father.

Is this the same god that drowned everything on earth?
Is this the same god that raped a young virgin to give birth to himself/son?
Is this the same god that created everything just to kill his son?
