Why worship?

[robvalue]

If God bears any resemblance to the characters depicted in the popular story books, there would be no reason at all to worship it other than out of pure fear of what he will do to you if you don't. It's sad to see theists granting God a free pass to do anything at all, things they know damn well are evil and which you would condemn anyone else for doing. Why, because he's more powerful than you? I would say that point is entirely questionable since his demonstrable effect on earth has been fuck all.

Almost everyone on earth is more moral and more intelligent than Yahweh or Allah, for starters. You guys are facilitating an abusive relationship. It just so happens it's with an imaginary abuser, but the fact that you think it isn't is what makes it so sick. Giving anyone or anything free reign, just because they say so, is a dangerous concept. You sell out all your morality and integrity in entirely bowing down to a tyrant. I understand totally doing it out of fear, but doing it for any other reason is sick.

The God is either so impotent or non existent as to let me talk all this smack about him, putting myself and other humans above him in all meaningful regards. Instantly some people will be thinking I'll get my punishment after I die. It's yet another fear tactic getting people bowing down to nothing at all. No one knows what happens after we die, stop letting people (not gods) tell you what happens and leveraging you with it.
