<<If God is not "good" in my definition, he is not worth of worship. End of story.>>

And part of being good is not demanding to be worshipped. I mean, if God is worthy of worship, he's concerned with other matters than getting worship.

Of course what matters he's concerned with, given the state of things and his omnipotence, I can't figure out.

Or couldn't, I'm sure, if I ever thought about it.

A God who consigns his children to an eternity in the flames would seem to be carrying wrath to a bit of an extreme. A flat-hand whack on the butt and some time in the room to think it over would seem more appropriate.

I don't quite understand why people are so eager to be admitted to the presence of an omnipotent being with such a notoriously vile temper. Seems to me like someone to avoid.
