Not worshiped.I hardly ever consider the possibility that god is real, especially THAT god, but this made me think a little more.
I imagine the god of the bible being around today and broadcasting his demands to the world across all media. He sees the devastation of the 2004 tsunami but refuses to intervene, when asked about it on TV he brushes it aside like a politician 'it is my mysterious way'. When asked why he caused the disaster in the first place 'just follow me and you will get your reward when you die'.
The same being then demands that everyone must praise him or they will suffer eternal torture.
Actually visualising this for the first time made me sick in my mouth to realise that is, in effect, what christians worship. Sick - no other word for it.
