Christians, you proudly worship the bible 'God'. Agreed?

The 'god' is well described in the bible as jealous, angry, vindictive, intolerant, and inclined to punish, torture, or kill anyone it dislikes.

WHY worship such a 'god'?

Non-Theist

ANY of the thousands of "gods" proposed, imagined, worshiped, loved, feared, and/or fought over by humans MAY exist -- awaiting verifiable evidence

The God of the Bible only reveals the devilish god of this world, in order not to worship him. So, you need to ask the Satanists about why they do worship him, not Christians...

However, as a Bible reader, I would say it has something to do with foolishly trying to escape the righteous judgment of their evil works by the God of the Bible.

Rom 2:6
Who will render to every man according to his deeds:To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Hellene;

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Hellene.
