Religion is not God it is socially constructed to guide and control the masses if you read plato and aristotle or socrates you can see how our current pop religions were fashioned after some of these beliefs when the greeks were searching for a just society and they were trying to figure out how to avoid chaos and if you read their answers they all stated they needed some God or Gods to help keep a just society \nI there are both positve and negative feelings and choices that we choose to live with and it is up to the individual to make his own life a living hell by holding hatred ignorance shame and guilt in him and making those dominant forces in there lives or the individual can strive to make positivity the dominant force in his life and enjoy love and possibly find profound inner peace for a little while and love living and life these are all personal choices we are all responsible for making ourselves and off of the spiritual level on downto eatrh one we can live like we do spiritually feeling sorry for ourselves and pointing our fingers blaming everyone else for what is wrong including god who wont make it better like we wairt for they whoever they are and the government to magically correct its own faults and start serving our interests rather than its own or we can choose to become aware active participants in our own lives and communities and empower ourselves and others and live with a sense of satisfaction and purpose as we strive to become more enlightened and pursue our goals and dreams and positivity. whoever or what evr the individual chooses to follow or believe it is right for that individual one persons reality does not negate anothers instead of clinging to our closed minded dogma and looking at things life as some flat mirror this side is right and that one is wrong maybe we should consider spirituality and life more like a diamond a multifaceted element of many coexistng perspectives and all other perspectives appear distorted from where we sit I highly doubt ghandi goes to hell and the pope who prtects pedophiles in his church doesnt I think it is much more complex than that and we need to realize thatwe are aal part of this same creation whoever God is whether he be a force of energy positive and negative or other or a personified being something created this universe and that was enough we need to take responsibility for our own fate and stop crying and waitng like whiny babies for something else to come along and make it all better and fair all those other labels christian muslim etc are irrelevant

I'm with you.  "God" is either evil or incompetent.  Take your pick.

Who could possibly believe in a God who would condemn the unknowing to eternal damnation because they never had a chance to serve him?  That's not my definition of a God.  That's a dictator.  That's a madman.  Nope, the Christian God is a loving God who would take into account a person's background.  All those unknowings are safe for eternity.

And why would we worship a god who favors pedophiles over heroes?\n\nDoesn't seem like a nice god.  What motivation do we have to worship him?\n\nOh yeah, right, eternal damnation.  So, we are supposed to believe the word of a god who has no qualms about tossing heroes into Hell.  Yeah, do people really think that God would be good on his word?  If he doesn't care about human life, then what makes you think he cares about honesty?

In the Old Testament he was reactive.  That's cause the people brought that out in him.  In modern times he is not reactive, but neither is he proactive; he's taken a wait-and-see attitude.  Why do you ask?  Are you an atheist looking for an argument?

Anyone who seeks praise and adulation isn't worthy of receiving it.\n\nSurely, an almighty God would be more mature than that and would care about how you act towards those around you instead of how much time you spend worshiping him.\n\nSo, to answer your question ... What do I call you?  A reasonable person.

[3:19] God bears witness that there is no god but He - and also do the angels and those possessed of knowledge, maintaining justice; there is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise. \n\nThat is chapter 3:19

Great question that can only be answered by faith or lack of it. Either you accept it and have faith in him, or reject the whole concept and condemn humans on their own. Either way it doesn't look so good for us.

If there is anything in the universe that your god is not responsible for then he can't be god.  End of story.

First of all, I am happy for you because of asking this question, since you are asking about none but your Creator, and as to your question.. well..\n\nLet us agree first that The Creator must be the creator of\neverything, the heavens, the earth an all that is in between them, mankind and all that exists. It is anticipated that anyone who says\n“I believe in the Creator,” that he believes in this. It also entails that he should necessarily believe that the Creator possesses Perfect Attributes. He is Perfect in His attributes, in Himself, in His Names,and in His Actions. This is a natural flow,\notherwise, it is a delusion not a true belief in the "Creator."\n"I believe in a Perfect Creator," should lead to another obvious admission: if you believe that the Creator is Perfect then He is\nPerfectly Wise in all of His Actions. Does He then Create because of a Perfect Wisdom, or aimlessly? This is the important linkage. Does He Create for a need? Or He\nCreates based upon Wisdom? It is anticipated that to be in harmony with having belief in the Creator, that His\nWisdom is necessarily is linked to His Knowledge, His Will and to all of His Attributes. The question, therefore, would you think the One who creates does so for a purpose or He creates to leave the creation aimless? The person who believes the Creator is Perfect, would agree that His creating is not aimless. If so, then Who else other than Allaah has stated this? And\nyou know where? It is in His Final Revelation to man. Contemplate what He has said: "Did you think that We have created you in play without any purpose and that you\nwill not be brought back to us, so exalted be Allaah the true king none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Lord of the\nSupreme Throne” [Quran 23: 115-116]. Does man think that he will be left aimless (without purpose)? [Quran, 75:36].\nSo Allaah is the One whom you believe to be "the Creator." He chose this title for Himself and He stated that He is the Only\nCreator, and that He Creates with Wisdom: Such is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, there is no god but He: Then\nhow ye are deluded away from the Truth! [Qur'an, 40:62].\nSo this creation which Allaah creates must have a code organizing its existence and its aims. \nHence: 1- Allaah creates and His creating is all Wise and for a purpose.\n2- Allaah did not leave us aimless. He set a code to live accordingly. So He legislates, commands, and prohibits,\nand justly sets reward and accountability, because He is all-\nJust.\n3- In all aspects of this code, the manifestations of His Names and Attributes become known, contemplated and realized. Being\nthe Creator necessitates creating as well as purpose, guidance and legislations. Whoever ascribes is rewarded, since He is the Most Generous. When one commits a sin,he realizes that his Creator accepts repentance and is oft-Forgiving. So the manifestations of Allaah's Names and Attributes become\nrealized on earth and this is beloved to Allaah, the Creator.\n4- Allaah gives man life, physical sustenance, and spiritual\nguidance through the revelation which He entrusted His Messengers with [like Jesus the son of Mary, Moses and Muhammed]. He guides man to know how to benefit\nfrom the provisions, what is good for him and what is harmful. He raises in honor those who submitted to Him,\nand justly puts in humiliation those who disdain and are arrogant. He Forgives and is Merciful; He punishes and rewards in order that man shapes his life with the code that is all beneficial to man and which makes his life on this earth upright. And it cannot be upright unless man ascribes to the guidance sent to him by His\ncreator.\n5- If all mankind come to ascribe to his code (i.e. worship) Allaah on one heart, then this does not oblige any change in Allaah's Essence nor in His Attributes. If all the creation is on one heart, this does not increase in the dominion of Allaah anything.\nThat is

More importantly, and I suspect this is what you're getting at, why would a god who wants worship set himself up to be totally illogical and irrational? I think that if there was a god controlling it all, we'd be somehow predispositioned to believing in him, rather than having to ignore all logic and reason just to get into heaven.

Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fu ck in' a off! He's a tight-as ! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER!

You first need to define what/who God is. :)

God only put us here to be toys of amusement for him. He enjoys watching people suffer. Just think about it for a minute...supposedly he is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-...whatever. Yet he allows this world to be infested with disease, famine, war, death, and horrors beyond imagination. Now, how can you call a god who does all these things loving and expect him to do anything for you. People who always turn to god to help them in their struggles are just trying to find someone else to fix their mistakes. They can't handle the fact that their god probably doesn't like them. God allows all these atrocities on earth to occur and doesn't lift a finger. The question you should really be asking is "Why do I worship a god that does not care?" God did not give us free will. And as far as free will in the respect to god goes, if it had not been for Satan, we would all be wandering around in complete servitude without even realizing we were slaves. By tempting Eve to eat that apple, if you believe the story, he gave us the ability to realize our slavery. Furthermore, anyone who says that we have free will given by god should examine their religion further. How can it be free will when he says that to disobey him will result in a tormenting eternity of fire and brimstone? Are these really choices...slavery or fire? I will thank God for nothing. My thanks go to the god of the underworld for giving me the knowledge to know these lies as they are.

The REAL issue is this: if God made us, and doesn't want us to sin, then he must have made a mistake, because according to christians, we do sin. If God did make us right, then sends us to hell for being imperfect, when he's the one who made us that way, then he's a sadistic a-hole. \n\nSo which one is he, incompetent or sadistic?\n\nMaybe there's a third option. There's no such thing as sin. Everything we go through down here is a lesson to learn.
