The evidence proves otherwise, especially in your case. There's a little bit of both. You hear it all the time, "Even if you had evidence for your f*cking genecidal c*nt god, I still wouldn't worship the a**hole." You can pretend that you're just a level headed and fair minded judge, but in the end its just posturing. You don't want there to be a god. At least Thomas Nagel was honest when he said,

Quote:I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers. It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God and, naturally, hope that I’m right in my belief. It’s that I hope there is no God! I don’t want there to be a God; I don’t want the universe to be like that.

Yes. I fully accept that even if your god, as depicted literally in your bible, was incontrovertibly true, I would not worship him. He would not be worthy of worship.

But, Chad, could you try looking at my post in the context it was written?

Radorth was attempting to prove that the atheist position is based not on reason and facts but on faith, and the way he did that was with a hypothetical: "If Jesus returned and performed a worldwide miracle, would you worship him?"

And no, I wouldn't. But that doesn't mean I'd deny he existed. It's not an irrational position; he would exist, that would be a fact. But mere existence doesn't entitle any being to worship. Why would it?
