We all look up to people; parents, friends, teachers, scientists etc.
But there could be things they would do that would change our opinion.
What would change your opinion of your god?
demanding human sacrifice. the aztec kind, not a sacrifice made by a human (i sacrifice my love for chocolate).
intentionally causing disasters to "test" us.
making a bet with satan to see how much crap can one take.
picking a favorite group of people and making them kill anyone else.
pretty much, most of the old testament.

Originally posted by ZahlanziLet's not leave out the New Testament. As Mark Twain said, God realized people were getting off too easy by dying and ending their suffering. The NT provided a way to torment them beyond the grave.

2. Sorry, but on that reason, I won't be participating. The thread question is a non sequitur.
3. Btw, God thinks you're trolling. (See #1.)

their god. I am by-passing the question of existence and asking
why worship, why do you think he is good, what would make
you stop worshipping etc. All valid questions.
Nobody has had the courage to face them seriously.
Your reply is no different.

1) God is perfect, by definition.
2) So he cannot do anything to become imperfect.

4) So, when I say "God is perfect", I have no idea what that means.
5) Nevertheless, I am quite confident that God IS perfect.
