Many fundamentalists claim that God doesn\u2019t care about works. So what does an all powerful God what\u2019s he care about?<\/p>\n<p>Of course most Christians will give you the standard line. We are all evil sinner and don\u2019t deserve to be rewarded in Heaven. God saves us through his grace\u2026 wait for it\u2026 only if we believe in him and accept Jesus Christ as our lord and savior.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, the only thing God cares about is for one species of animal on one insignificant plant to worship him based on insufficient reason and in the face of a ridiculous lack of evidence. God want people to love him for being a jerk and will even threaten you with eternal torture if you don\u2019t love him.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, this is a made up story created by people who lack imagination. There is no God so it really is moot to ask what he cares about. But I am trying to see this through the eyes of a Christian and it still doesn\u2019t make sense. Why would anyone worship such a self-absorbed asshole?<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the reasons why I often tell Christians that I wouldn\u2019t be a Christian even if they could prove the existence of their God\u2026 and fir the record, they can\u2019t even do that.<br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><br \/>\n<a onclick=\"return addthis_sendto()\" onmouseover=\"return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')\" onmouseout=\"addthis_close()\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=dangeroustalk\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/lg-share-en.gif\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" \/><\/a><script src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/250\/addthis_widget.js?pub=dangeroustalk\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n <!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles by Zemanta<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/new.exchristian.net\/2010\/09\/christianity-shot-in-foot.html\">Christianity Shot in the Foot<\/a> (new.exchristian.net)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=1784\">How Little Does One Need to Believe to be a Believer?<\/a> (dangeroustalk.net)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: medium none; float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=9386f517-4881-4b56-86da-cbc383110e59\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><span class=\"zem-script more-related pretty-attribution\"><script src=\"http:\/\/static.zemanta.com\/readside\/loader.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=1786\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 317364;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Religious believers often claim that God doesn\u2019t care about material possessions.
