It seems fair to me that you get out of it what you put in. If, as Christians do , you live to die, then you cannot expect much back.

If you live each day as if it were your last, then every day is a reward!

Exist

You have the same chance as everybody else: What more do you want?

Answer 8

I would worship a God who did what he asks of his followers: his best.  The idea of an all powerful God who could rid the world of its evils, but just chooses not to, then has the audacity to judge us weak, frightened, vulnerable mortals for our sins is disgusting to me.  Anyway, I am a Buddhist, and I love what the Buddha had to say about God: If God exists, then God is a being, if God is a being, then my teachings also apply to him, because my teachings apply to all beings.  In simple terms, no double standards - Job was 100% right to question God's justice.

Answer 9

God's standards are layed out in Scripture but it is at the very moment when people turn from living by God's standards to living by their own standards, that their lives suddenly become "unfair" because humanity is clueless on how to live aside from God's standards. The atrocious condition of this earth is a testimony to that fact.

Answer 10

Is there any objective way to tell the difference between really believing a deity is benevolent and the apotropaic fear of angering a vengeful deity?

Apotrope (adj.: apotropaic) refers to objects such as amulets, talismans, incantations, or other symbols and phrases intended to "ward off evil" or "avert or combat evil.”

If I call my boss “the best boss in the world” do I really mean that he is the best boss in the world or that I WANT him to be a nice boss to me, so I am kissing up to him.

If I call a large, growling, drooling, guard dog that stands between me and the exit “nice doggie” do I really mean that it is a nice dog or am I trying to convince it (and me) that I am not a threat and should be allowed to move on peacefully?

If I tell my Significant Other “You are the only woman in the world” do I really mean that all the other women have died due to some strange misogynistic disease, or am I telling her romantic white lies that I am only attracted to her?
