If God exists and if He is a tyrant--you need to believe him---to be saved

If the abrahamaic god exists, then he is a tyrant, and there's no reason to think that belief will save you, because he's lied before.
If (by some unimaginable circumstance) God is real, he is a tyrant. And, if he is real I will believe in him, but I will not be saved as I refuse to worship a cruel and unjust god.
so i have to beleive in an evil God? what happened to free will?
Simple. God created free will BECAUSE He is evil!
Think about it. If you were an evil, power-hungry narcissistic overlord, which would you rather have: A bunch of automaton creations who worship you just because you programmed them to, or an army of cowering minions who worship you because you'll torture them if they don't?
If God were a tyrant, nobody would believe in him. Remember that our ancestors came to God through Christ, because he said that God is love. You can't love a God you can't see if you don't love your brother and sister who you see.
Then the logic for believing in your tyrant god is virtually the same as the logic of the Nazi soldier who knew Hitler was evil. It is an expression of pure moral cowardice. And you are proud of yourselves, thinking we all should join in your craven behaviors.
You should pray that there is no just god because to that just god you are deserving of his rejection.
If he's a Tyrant,,,,You'll never be anything but a slave or dead formaly rebellious slave.
Tyrants aren't know for being to leniant or loving. You're thinking of occasional assholes
Let's assume your pwecious gawd exists. Why should I trust that a tyrant will spare me because I lick his shoes every day?
Besides...we just need to figure out how to make him mortal...and then......*evil laughter*
Is this not terribly dissimilar to walking into your house one day, finding a nice, well mannered man having the table set for you, a nice meal put out, and a gun beside his plate...telling you that you and he are now destined to be together, and that he will love and care for you, but if you run away, look away, or even give him reason to think you might not be totally, 100% into him, he'll blow your brains out?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
