Quote:What three things are we talking about exactly? Immortality(?), the creator of everything & the command to worship it?Just those three, yes. I'm only attempting to narrow this down as when we began you stated that if there was a creator you'd worship it on the grounds of it's being a creator - nothing else was mentioned-. I doubted that this was true, and you, in your turn quantified my doubts. We had to keep adding things. IMHO, we still aren't at a point where one would have to worship anything - even taking whats below into account.
Quote:Or it chucks a fit and causes chaos/throws you to eternal punishment... It's the fear behind it I guess.The fear is where I suspected we would find ourselves eventually. Creator, demands, immortality, no, all of that is fluff. As long as it was capable of terrifying you - that would be enough. Personally, I'm simply not afraid. On the next bit though, it was once the law to push the blacks to the back of the bus - and I don't get the rebellious attitude - just do it man. Here I again I doubt that this actually works for you.
What you guys sound like to me when you say "even if X god was real, I still wouldn't worship it" is exactly the same as someone rebelling against the law per se. Just do it man... I don't get the rebellious attitude..?
