Thiests - Assuming God exists, why should we worship him?

[Thor]

1-I would say he's homicidal, but where you see God acting to kill people I see nature and people killing people.

I would agree that he would be a homicidal maniac. But what does the second part of your response have to do with anything? It was your deity who directly killed people when he supposedly flooded the planet. It was also your deity who directly killed the first born child of everyone in town when the Pharoah refused to free the Hebrews. These were not acts of "nature".

2-poor analogy, the problem with it is that he does give answers to those who listen, and he does heal those who show faith, not beg

No, it's a perfect analogy. Many of the faithful pray for their sick children to be cured. And many of these children die. No cure. No response. No reason is ever given. And the nonsensical "he does give answers to those who listen" is nothing but a meaningless platitude. If your deity truly exists he is a lousy communicator.

3-It would definately make me question and distrust , but I would stil love him, he's my father.

Then why don't you question and distrust "God"?

4- See 4 from the above quote

I'm not sure what you're referring to here.

"You’re correct"

Atheological spin

I guess we just won't agree then. For me the material world is all there is, for you it isn't. I feel you have a higher burden of proof than I do and you may accept that. I haven't heard anything remotely convincing though.

Hell yes! IF I believed in a dead cunt like YHWH,I'd be terrified of him. I'd do whatever the fuck he told me too. I'm old, not stupid.

[tackattack]

and lots of theists would be right there with you in that fear, however, I don't believe fear was on my list and is contrary to Christian theology (fear where it connotes terror as opposed to healthy respect).

If god were to suddenly be proved to exist somehow, I think my initial reaction would be surprise, then interest, then I'd get on with my day.

If, in the extremely unlikely case that, there WAS a god then it would just be a fact like mountains are tall and water is wet.

Would not feel the need to worship.

If there was a god (One big mega super fucking IF) I'd be very surprised. Since it is an extremely, EXTREMELY [/color]EXTREMELY HIGH IMPROBABILITY! The fact that there is no credibility and no likely hood, it would shock the fuck out of me.
Though I would continue to live a very secular life. Still wouldn't go to church or anything. I'd carry on living my life the way I have been.

I'm hopping in late here

Did we define what god we're talking about here? If it was the god of the bible I'd seek a way to defend myself and my friends/family from his insanity, whatever it takes.

If it was just a deistic creator god I'd hope for the chance to have a drink with him sometime, I'd like to meet the god that started everything off then just observed. I could learn a lot.

Either way, there would still be no prayer or worship, my life would either carry on as normal or I would seek ways to kill the god to protect everyone from his insanity.

"Poll: Would you take it up the ass from God just to get into heaven?"

No... I'd take it up the ass from God just because it would probably be good sex. Getting into heaven? Bonus
