When people ask you whether you believe in God, they usually mean do you _worship_ God. It seems unthinkable to them that someone would believe in God's existence without worshipping Him, since the alternative is hell.
But what if God is so venal and abusive that He doesn't deserve worship regardless of personal consequences? In private I refer to God as "El Diddlo" because He molests His children. Heaven is really just a piece of candy He gives to His children to make us stop crying after He has finished molesting us.
Can anyone possibly worship such a creator? I can't. Worshipping a pervert is beyond me, and sometimes self-preservation is trumped by what is right.
Discuss among yourselves.
