MODERATORS
I believe in the possibility of a creator, be it a single omniscient/omnipresent/omnipowerful/etc being or some natural process we do not understand.
But do I have enough evidence to swear fealty to any particular thing that might occupy this role? Fuck no.
I would submit that any being that desires worship is not worthy of it.
Not only desires, but demands it and threatens eternal torture if you don't give it to them. An important distinction.
True, desiring it alone is bad enough, but demanding it on the threat of eternal torment is about as evil as you can get.
