No you dolt. An analogy would be, why be a part of a society that would send anyone to prison for an eternity and torture them when their only crime is refusing to worship the king. And yea, I wouldn't want to be a part of a society like that.
You brought up a good question though. Why believe in a god at all? I see no reason to.
Hmm...
So you are saying that a person who acts in opposition to the law and even seeks to undermine said law under the argument they do not recognize the king (and by extension his authority) was not a crime punishable by imprisonment or death? History and the numerous people who have been executed for not recognizing the king or his authority would disagree.
Furthermore you state that you would not want to be part of a society like that. Too my knowledge there is not a society on earth that does not consider opposition to the rule of law and efforts to undermine said law under the argument of not recognizing the authority of said law as the crime of treason. Punishable by life imprisonment or death.
Even lawless individuals know to not recognize the authority of the leader is to act treasonous, punishable by imprisonment or death.
