I have similar feelings about the Christian god. Does Christ need our fealty? What if we take his advice, and pattern our lives based on his teachings, but do not worship him? Are we destined to hell because we do not bend the knee?

FYI just finished reading the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. Here is my take away;

The message Jesus gives is this - 1) Follow the 10 commandments 2) Recognize that human suck and we sin 3) ask for forgiveness for that sin and try not to do it again 4) -most important- realize that forgiveness will be granted if the request to be forgiven is genuine.

That’s it. The rest of the Gospels is Jesus proving what faith does and forecasting his crucifixion.

The doom god you are talking about is the one Jews were following and they always revert to worshipping bull headed gods anyhow.

Take all that for what you will…
