I think because of the nature of this thread a lot of people are being disingenuous. Have you ever been mugged before? Have you ever been held at gun point? Have you ever been woken up in the middle of the night by a burglar who held you at screw driver point threatening your life? Then you find out later that he wasn't there for a regular burglary. He was there to kill your cousin because she turned him down for a date. Have you ever been in a life threatening situation under duress from someone else? Look I've never been held at gun point but I know people who have. I've gone through all of the other things I've mentioned above.
My point is that when your life is on the line your brain stops working normally. When I got mugged people asked me why I didn't ask the dude for my sim card? BECAUSE I WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT SEEING ANOTHER DAY! It didn't even occur to me to think about sim cards.

Come on guys. You know you'd bow so far that you could kiss your asshole. If a man holding you at gun point, no scratch that, at knife point can get you to do it, a maniacal god sure as hell can.
What's all this about? The question is whether, if I knew God was real, I would worship God in order to attain Heaven. I don't know if I would or not, but if it's the Biblical Bible, and if I wasn't under direct duress, I think I would choose not to follow such a God, even to benefit myself.
if this type of god is real, it isnt god. "god" of the bible wouldnt give a flying fuk what you believe. All it would want is for you to be the best you , you can be.
Just as he made you.
but, my guess is many would reject that too. because in the end, its not about "truth", its about being right.
