• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

If Any Kind Of God/Gods Exists, Do You/Would You Worship Him/Her/It?

What, uh, what entitles something as a god?

I guess it depends, on many variables. Be more specific. I would say, for the most part, no.

And do you really think this belongs in the debating hall?
 
I would say a god is any all-powerful/extremely powerful being. (though not always a creator.) I put this in the debating section because there are many topics on religion here, and I didn't know where else to put it.
 
I highly doubt it.

Any god that expects its creations to love it unconditionally and obey its every command or be punished for eternity is an asshole. The way I see it, I can either make the most of a short time of freedom on earth knowing I'm going to be punished; or I can devote my time amongst the living to ass-kissing some supreme being who I strongly disagree with on several key issues, just so in the unlikely event that he does exist I get to spend the rest of eternity kissing his ass despite finding him arguably worse than Hitler. Dignity won't let me do the latter. It's quite cowardly, imo.

If we're talking a god uninvolved with humanity like in Deism, then I don't think it really matters whether or not they're worshipped because it's doubtful they care either way. I'd be cool with a god like that, but I wouldn't worship them.
