If the God of the Torah or the Bible or the Koran truly existed, could you bring yourself to worship Him with a straight face? Not me. Not even if I tried my hardest.
I feel myself drawing back to the stephen fry interview video, but sparing that basically as he said, why should I want to worship a spineless, intolerant, cruel and stupid god, that looks down from his ivory tower judging our actions on something he himself created like a child with a playset.
This is why its so easy to debunk everything the bible says, because its written from the minds of tribesmen whos view of the world was limited at best and there imagination for their made up deity was lacking any creativity. At least the norse and greek patheons were interesting characters.

And spoken with such passion and indignation. It is exactly how I feel.
1liesalot - I agree, and I am Jewish!
Munch ... you are a Loki fan, am I right? I would have to vote for Thor ... and not just because of the recent movies.

Completely unrelated, but why does the guy in your avatar have boobs? I know they're supposed to be his pecs, but they're so huge it looks like he has a G-cup rack.
Hijiri ... moobs, not boobs.
Generally speaking ... I don't believe in worship anyway. This is related to the Indic yoga category of Bhakti Yoga ... I don't do that. I relate to Jnana Yoga or Raja Yoga. Clearly Munch would appreciate Hatha Yoga.

its the artist, Patrick Fillion. he draws very overly eccentric masculine features, including dongs the size of fire extinguishers.

I like your avatar. :lol:
What I don't like about it is it's not a proper loop, unlike my graceful spinning Reimu-chan. If it smoothly reversed to pan back up to his face, I don't think it would annoy me. As such, it's *JERK* *JERK* *JERK* Ugh.

I'll work on that then :D

If Abrahamic God were real he would not expect me to worship him because we both know my part in the story is not the hero but the cautionary tale. I picture us just looking at each other knowingly before I burst into flames.
Which is why so many Christians have nuke fantasies ;-(
Worshipping dongs is nothing new ... just look up Priapus ...
Munch, that avatar is much better! No more *jerk* *jerk* *jerk* ... well, maybe there is, but I can't see it. :D

Well as we learned from the story of Lot, God is a real pushover when it comes to negotiations, so maybe something can be worked out :)

I think this topic was touched upon before.
No I would not worship Yahweh. He is not worthy of it.
I'd probably be a Satanist, because he seems like a nicer guy.
What if the Abrahamic God is actually Satan, and Satan has fooled all these people into worshiping him? I mean Satan is supposed to be the bad guy.
If God is real, I don't see it being the Abrahamic God. Honestly I think God would be a woman, and therefore a Goddess, and I think she wouldn't care how people lived their life as long as they didn't hurt people.
Norse gods are greek gods are just so much more fun and well written characters then any of this Abrahamic crap. You could literally find a good for anything from those past civilizations, meaning you had someone to represented you better. But still, much like how i wouldn't want to give my life over to a mafia boss, I wouldn't want to bow down to any god. I think of that scene in the avengers where the old man refuses to bow to loki.

I know that was a metaphor for how he refused to bow to hitler, no exactly subtle, but I think of it in context to bowing to anyone is wrong.
I would worship the anime god! and that's about it.

I'd 'worship' this version of Thor.

NakedTracyBlack ... well if there is G-d and Satan ... then that is two gods ... but don't tell the monotheists that they are arithmetically challenged. If one chooses to be a monotheist, then G-d and Satan have to be the same person, a Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde personality at that. My own personal (non scriptural) impressions of G-d ... lean toward Kali-Ma ... but Kali-Ma isn't passive, she is a demon destroyer like Buffy Vampire Slayer ;-)
Munch - Emperor Constantine would be very unhappy if you didn't bow. Modified emperor worship is so out of style. But worship of perfect male/female physical specimens ... is very Greco-Roman.

My argument with the emperor would be I wouldn't bow to his reincarnation so I wouldn't bow to him.

Oh Constantine? yeah I could get on one knee for him.
