Suppose you have some kids.
When they are young you do your best to teach them how to live better
but as they grow up your role is different.
Now they are adults.
They decide what to do and you do not interfere in their lives anymore.
Whether they do good or bad is now their responsibility.
If they do something good you will be happy and they will be happy
but if they do something bad you will be sad but that's all you will do.
According to yoga as soon as you become human you are responsible
for your action.
You can say that your father is an idiot, you can do a lot of nasty things
and your father will keep quite.
That's your life.
You can say any thing that you like about your father.
He will let you say whatever you like but at the end it is you that loose.  Thinking



  

So there is an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent being that is willing to allow anything to happen, doesn't interfere in any way with our reality yet still if you don't worship it, it will execute consequences after you die? How can this alleged god blame us for anything we say against it, if it doesn't give us any reasons to believe that it exists?


Ok, Norman. Sorry for this interferences by an old pal that i met years ago in some fanny spot but what can i do.
Now the first question.
1) .......if you don't worship it, it will execute consequences after you die.........
How do you know that?
As far as i know and according to yoga God will not punish you just because you don't worship him.
He may punish you for doing something bad but not for not worship him.
If you don't believe in him all he may do is to not manifest in you.
2)........ How can this alleged god blame us for anything we say against it, if it doesn't give us any reasons to believe that it exists?
It is a question to reciprocate.
He will manifest in you if you believe in him and will not manifest in you if you don't believe in him.
But whatever is your believe or not believe in him every action has got to have an equal and opposite reaction so it is only what you do that will have
consequences not whether you believe or not in him.
In other words you can't say that he doesn't give you reasons to believe.
Would you reciprocate someone who doesn't give a damn about you?  Thinking
