These people are worship God the best way they know how. What they are doing is not wrong, for some it is what they need to transition from the life they live to where they want to be.
Quote:It would help if 'God' actually bothered to ask me.If He asked you driectly then wouldn't it scew your answer? Just a little bit? Would the need for self preservation over ride your hearts true desires? If so then why ask you directly? As it is He 'asks' in a book that you can easily dismiss allowing you to maintain your objectivity.
Quote:Even then it always seemed to me that worship was an odd sort of thing for anything to want. I don't want it from my dog. Wanting worship pretty much disqualifies any god from getting it from me.
do you guys even think things through? If your dog did not 'worship you' then he would be free to poop, pee, hump, chew, eat, destroy/kill where or what ever he liked. We consider dogs with a strong will of their own as 'bad dogs.' Dogs who serve and yield their wills to their master's, are dogs we all like and want around our families. If a dog mauled you child you would have him put down. But why? he was just excersizing his own will apart from yours.Quote:yes, I always had a problem with that. Why would you create something merely to have it worship you? You would have to have a serious lack of self esteem if you did thatPerfect example of the reason why God keeps Himself hidden to unbelievers. If you knew God to be real and Hell to be your current destination, could you make a comment like the one you just made? As it is you are free to speak your mind. Why? so you know on the day of your judgement that you indeed want to be where ever it is you have been sent to spend your eternity.
