I personally wouldn't follow this God if it were the God of Christianity, Islam or many others. If it's an asshole God, without a hell of a good reason for the shit that it allows to happen, I'd tell it to go fuck itself. I told Satan to go fuck himself when I was younger and really believed he spoke to me and was tormenting me. It was actually the result of sleep deprivation, repetitive nightmares and a very active imagination. Still, I told that motherfucker where to go. I can't imagine I'd react any differently to God.
Incidentally, there was a point during another thread today when the following thought occurred to me: If God did exist and it fessed up to being a complete asshole and admitted to making a lot of mistakes but wanted to change, I would probably forgive him/her/it. The reason this thought occurred to me was, I consider myself capable of forgiving the worst examples of humanity, so why not God? Of course, in keeping with tradition it would be conditional forgiveness; I'd have to appoint a committee to decide on the Propitiation owed to humanity.
