He supposedly demades that sending 80% of all living humans alive today to some firey eternity because we do not choose to follow a book that makes no sense.
Or He demands that we go to this fiery place because we do not see any evidence on this planet that He exits.
We know that it is not okay to kill our kids for cursing us. We know that it is not okay to sell our sister into slavery, we know that is not okay for force a rape victim to marry her rapist.
We know that there is no possible that the earth could flood over Mt Everest.
If it is so important to God that we stroke His ego and sing Him praises, why has HE not let us all know once and for all.???
"Hey here I am. I want to live as Jesus taught you, love one another as I have loved you."
Can you imagine what he thinks of our mental abilities if we accept nonsense as facts?

I've wondered this myself.If a god were to create an entire race whose sole purpose was to worship him then,to me,that would show that he had a massive inferiority complex.

Almighty God is simply asking to be thanked for giving us life.
We have tagged it "worship".
And if the Bible is studied properly, it becomes clear that it explains our situation accurately.
About covering Mt. Everest...The Himalayas are a young mountain chain...and have been pushed up like that.
What pushes good?...Water...lots of water.,!!!
(Genesis 2:4-6) This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time of their being created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven. 5 Now there was as yet no bush of the field found in the earth and no vegetation of the field was as yet sprouting, because Jehovah God had not made it rain upon the earth and there was no man to cultivate the ground. 6 But a mist would go up from the earth and it watered the entire surface of the ground.
Does this not seem familiar...like the conditions at the time of the dinosaurs.?
And the bit about a fiery place....The bible says nothing of the sort.
It does mention " the lake of fire" but this is symbolic of destruction. And it does not say that PEOPLE end up there.
Satan does, but not people.
It is a false and twisted teaching to put fear into people and keep them under control of false religion.
and you are aware of WHICH religion teaches that.
(Revelation 20:14-15) And death and Ha′des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire. 15 Furthermore, whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled into the lake of fire.
(Revelation 20:10) And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where both the wild beast and the false prophet [already were]; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
The beast and the prophet are organisations on earth.

Is that your excuse to no longer worship God? human beings in this international worship this kind of huge quantity of issues jointly with: funds, women human beings, celebrities, animals, human beings, statues made from stone. Why dont they worship the single which created maximum of this stuff? Why do not they worship the author of the heavens and the earth? After each little thing he has presented you with. in case you've been to target to very large type the advantages of God, you are able to't in any respect huge type them. The least you are able to do is teach him some appreciate.

Faith is not common sense and common sense is not faith.
We don't need faith for what we can logically explain. The Bible says "Who has faith for what he already has?" But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we truly live by faith. It would be good for you to read Job chapters 36-42 where God asks Job to explain many things. It could open your eyes to just how little you really do know.
And to see the kingdom of God we must be born again, accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior and then He will come to live in our hearts and we can see the reality and destruction of sin and unbelief.
We think that because we have all we want and are educated that we are somehow redeemed and civilized, but the reality is we are all sinners who have fallen short of the glory of God. It is because we are hopeless sinners that Jesus came and died on the cross to pay for our sins.
God is absolutely flawless, perfect, the True Light, He is Sovereign, Holy, Pure; He deserves nothing less than our praise and worship. He deserves more honor than we can possibly give Him. We come to see this when we really see our sin in all its fullness and how destructive it really is, and to know that we are forgiven in Christ Jesus is a miracle that we are unworthy of.
Once we see the truth of God's incredible mercy, we want to do nothing less than to praise and worship Him for His love and grace.

Sounds like you have a lot of bitterness. You probably have good reason for most of it. God still loves you as much as he does anyone else. Jesus came to save the sinner not the saints. As far as the Bible not making sense I will have to disagree. I was about as far down as a man can get when someone left a Bible, the New Testament, in my mailbox. I had tried reading the Bible many times and could never make sense of it. I didn't read that Bible for years. I later found it again when I was moving. I sat down to read a few lines but something moved me to pray for God to reveal to me what he was trying to tell me in His Word. I then started reading and I could not believe that I could understand what He was telling me. Slowly I began to read more and more and now I cannot get enough of God's Word. I pray that you too will get a Bible and start to read the New Testament and pray before you read that you will be given knowledge, wisdom and understanding of His word.
God bless you

You fail to understand of Gods soveriegn love and mercy. Like the Bible says He was all knowing and needed no reason to create but out of His own free giving love. All he asks is that you believe and why is it so hard to understand and live 70 or 80 years of your lifetime in total obedience to Him and believe in your heart and profess with your mouth that Jesus is the Son of God and only through Him is the way the truth and the Life for those who believe and in return eternity for believers without sin forever in total bliss in
Heaven. Or would you rather live in Hell for the rest of eternity. Think about it. "Fear not him who can kill the body but fear Him who can kill both the body and soul"

If you would embrace Christianity God will not just show up, but you will feel it in your soul. If 80% of the creations of the world do not know then it is safe to say many couldn't have a chance at being christian and will have a 2nd chance, some may even have purgatory.
