Just a preface. I don't believe in God. Any god. But I'm from a small (see tiny) rural eastern Canadian town. A village, really. Needless to say, a lot of people there believe in God (the Christian God). That being said, I was never forced to do anything I didn't want to do. I was never mistreated at the hands of religion. My dad's side of the family is from the United Church. My mom's side of the family is from the Salvation Army. My paternal grandparents were involved in the church. My grandmother played the organ and my grandfather was the sexton. Though he had said some things from time to time that indicated that he wasn't necessarily a devout worshiper. But being in a small town, church was just something you did. You didn't question it. Later on, my mom became the organist, which she does to this day. Yet I get the feeling that my parents aren't exactly the most religious either.
I went to Sunday school (United Church) every Sunday. Of my own free will. But I didn't really believe in the whole thing even then. I just enjoyed going to Sunday school as well as a Salvation Army-based youth group. I liked hanging out with my friends and this was a convenient way to do so. I would never disrespect religion or the religious organizations that I attended. I just started thinking logically at a fairly early age and realized that it was something I didn't believe in. And sitting in Church was something I didn't like wasting my time with, if I didn't have to. I don't hate God. You have to believe in him to actually have feelings towards him one way or the other. But getting older, it's obvious that some things done in the name of religion are pretty horrific. Just as some things done in the name of religion are beneficial to the world.
Anyways, now that you know where I come from, how would I react to discovering that God was real, without a doubt?
Assuming this is the God from the bible, then I guess I'd be forced to worship him, wouldn't I? Because otherwise I'd be fucked and spend eternity in Hell. But love him? Absolutely not. The God of the bible, putting it lightly, is a bit of a dick. Drowning the vast majority of humanity and land-based animals. "Testing" people by forcing them through the worst imaginable situations. Demanding that we worship him lest we spend eternity in hell. He's an asshole. But I'd play the game. I'd worship him. I'd do what it took to end up in the less shitty version of the after life. But I suppose that if this is the god from the bible, then he would know that I wasn't sincere in my love and I'd be fucked either way.
So, to recap: Worship? Yes. Love? No.
