What if God does not want people to worship him under those conditions? why would he "show up?"
What if, what if ... what if's count for nothing, but I'll still play for a moment. (probably a really bad decision - as these things go nowhere)
What is it about all the god's in the universe requiring people to not only love, but to believe. What is it with believing that is so important to a god?? If my father left me when I was 3 months old and my mother demanded that I not only love him, but simply believe that he also loves me beyond comprehension - I'd have a real god damn problem with that because the evidence is to the contrary. So would anyone. You see, it makes no sense. I kind of understand that a god would want to be loved ... I get that, but what is so god damn important about being believed in???? What does belief prove to a god?? Why would he possibly require that?? Show up mother fucker. Prove that you love me and perhaps I will love you in return. The comparison would finish with your mom threatening to beat you every day if you didn't tell her that you loved your absent father and believed that he loved you with all his heart. It's just ridiculous.
