Why worship?
#86
RE: Why worship?
Why would a god want to wait until a group of people become evil enough that he feels more justified in killing them, instead of actually helping them improve their society? Yahweh is often compared to a parent, but if a parent just stands back and lets his child turn into a psychopath, we call him a bad parent and will still punish him for murdering the kid (or telling someone else to murder him) afterwards. Your god is a lazy dick.

Your sin debt that he tells you that you have, and makes you beg his forgiveness for you not being perfect, despite that being out of your control, and threatens abandonment and possibly torture if you don't? I am not perfect. I never was, and never can be. Why should I have to beg anyone to forgive me for that? If someone wants me to dedicate my life to them, they need to do something for me. It doesn't have to be giving me superpowers, or making me the richest, smartest, or most handsome man in the world. I'll just settle for having substantially better life than someone who doesn't worship him, so when I tell someone my life is that way because I pray to Yahweh/Jesus every day, they won't look at me like I said because I pray to Quetzalcoatl every day.

It's wrong because it means you have to do it before you find out if it's true or not. It's wrong because it's a clue that this is more about other people controlling your life than actually worshiping a real god. Once you die, that priest can't tell you how to live your life, and won't get any money from you, dso you have to do it beforehand.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
