Because he’s cruel ?

No, it comes with gullibility. Religion opposes understanding and wisdom; it is a force for ignorance, blindness and madness.

And the story of the Pharaoh is a good example of why if the God of the Bible is real, he’s a monster.

In other words, the believer is insane. As for the skeptic; that’s never been tested, because in all of history there’s never been any proof. Not a shred.

> So I will ask again, if somebody found scientific evidence of God, would it inspire you to worship him as a supreme being/diety? Would it support your ability to relate to HIM in human terms?

No, and no. I oppose the worship of anything, and regard it as disgusting and destructive. And I have no desire for a relationship with a spirit thug.
