What if God is petty? What if he created us out of some selfish whim, for no purpouse other than to amuse and entertain Him? What if we meant so little to him that he would condemn us to suffering for eternity at the slightest offense?
Consider the implications of a God so hateful that if we do not follow his word to the letter, he would not be content with just destroying us, He would be as merciless as to prolong our existence for eternity, so that we may live in constant agony as we have disobeyed him.
Consider, also, those who cannot hear His word, or have a cultural or language barrier. They are all condemned to hell. What about those overseas, whose descendants would not hear about this God for thousands of years. More hell.
Would you follow such a God? Would you kneel down and love Him, as your creator? Could you love him legitamitley knowing his hatred, or complete disinterest, in those who cannot or do not follow Him, or would you just blindly love him for fear of being condemned?
I wouldn't love any God like that.
I'd declare war on Him.

I agree. I (would) choose not to follow that God but millions do even as it conflicts with the morals they claim as inspired by said God. Amazing eh?
