Why don't you believe in a god?

Even if such a beign existed and  did have such expectations of us, would it really matter? I mean just because this beign created us does it mean that we must be slaves to its whims?

If we are to keep the definition of God as an all-powerful, all-knowing universe creator that is worthy of eligious worship, yes.

If a being existed like that where we weren't "slaves to its whims" it wouldn't be God. It would be a universe-creating alien conciousness. Which is interesting but not really implied by the word god.

But if we are slaves to its whims mechanically then we do not have free will, and if we do have free will why should we be slaves to its whims? ALet's be honest, even the religious have never really had any concrete proof that they're deities are really are all-powerfull or all-knowing, other that the words of said deity in the first place (which would not be a reliable source, and of course this goes by the assumption that such a being exists in the first place). We are sentient beigns, why should we listen to any such entity? Nad the concepts of "all-powerfull" and "all-knowing" are themselves ridiculous.

Ok I'm a Christian so judge me If you don't like that I don't believe in God. But actually to be truthful I didn't believe in him at one point either. Ok first, since when are we slaves to God's whim? Thats not true. I'm pretty no one is controlling you right now or making you do something. That already is free will. All God asked for is one day out of the whole week. So basically he gives you six days to basically do whatever you want (although praying every now shouldn't be much) and then he asks that you honor the Sabbath Day (Sunday) in his name. 

2. The Bible is our proof of God. Its a powerful piece of work.

3. When you say we are sentient beings why should we listen to any such entity, I assume you mean God. Well lets put if you have a son or daughter one day I'm pretty sure you're going to want he/she to listen to you. Same concept.
