Gods You'd Never Worship

[HexBomb]

Being a former Christian, I don't think I ever could or would go back to that, even if I knew it was real. I don't think 'exists,' should be the ticky box that matters. That said, I have issues with any deity who claims to be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent.

Friend Q,

Gods You'd Never Worship

First of all the word 'God' is a concept and no imagination/image will be correct and nor can the concept be depicted. Besides how can you worship a concept??
The word 'worship'

worship
ˈwəːʃɪp/Submit
noun
1.
the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.
"worship of the Mother Goddess"
synonyms: reverence, revering, worshipping, veneration, venerating, adoration, adoring, -olatry, devotion, praise, thanksgiving, praising, praying to, glorification, glorifying, glory, exaltation, exalting, extolment, extolling, homage, respect, honour, honouring, esteem; More

The basis of worship is the 'deity' and when God itself is a concept around which no deity is TRUE then how can such an untrue deity be worshipped??

Personally find the word 'worship' misplaced and the question needs to be reframed!

Love & rgds

Any God who prefers one religion over another, who would pick one people over another as his chosen ones, who is bothered by petty human matters , whose mood changes, whose will wavers at the instance of prayer, who is thirsty for worship,who judges good and evil,who does miracles when the universe is his magnum opus....


Wont bend my knees to that......

Ditto! The Abrahamic God scares the crap outta me for these reasons...

I would never worship Loki. Or most if not all of the Aztec gods and goddesses.

What about them grates you the wrong way?

 

[Sha'irullah]

I for one would never worship a Yahweh, Jesus or a Muhammad. Krishna has always had a special place in my heart

 

[Riverwolf]

I would never worship Loki.

What's wrong with Loki?

What's wrong with Loki?

Oh, don't get me going about Loki. I've still never forgiven (or forgotten) about our last encounter. Little upstarts...

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

I love Loki and His children.

 

[Nymphs]

All of them.

Jesus himself seemed pretty legit, to love even ones enemies is a pretty good idea.
the whole worship me or burn in hell kind of ruins the appeal a tad bit though

Definitely not muhammads god.
worshiping someone who approves of marrying 9 yr olds isn't something I would find appealing in a god.

Thor would be pretty cool, if he let me hold his hammer
In fact, I would throw it at muhammad's god

What about them grates you the wrong way?

Well, for starters, Loki is murderous with little to no care for the rest of the gods, and I would not worship any group of gods which would want me to give them human sacrifices

I would balk at the ancient Sumerian god of broken pottery.

 

[Desert Snake]

That would be a long list lol

 

[Quintessence]

That would be a long list lol

I'm the opposite... my list has nothing on it. XD

About the only thing I could say is that I would never worship one god to the exclusion of all others.

 

[YmirGF]

Personally, I don't get why people think that worship is a reasonable thing to begin with.

This is like wondering if it is "reasonable" to buy someone a present for their birthday because they're your friend or you admire them or respect them. Or like wondering if it is "reasonable" to write thank-you notes. XD

But maybe you should start a topic about that in the religious debates section?

I would never bow to a concept of:

A) Satan or a being in his likeness. I feel repulsed by the idea.
B) A deity whose description in general makes no sense.

What do you consider the idea of Satan to be? I ask, because people seem to have very different ideas associated with those five letters.

What's an example of a description that wouldn't make sense to you? Is it things that seem logically contradictory, or something else?
