I've seen plenty of discussion about whether or not god/s exist. I concluded over 50 years ago that they don't, and that everything in the universe is natural and will eventually be explained by science and reason. What a relief that was after a childhood blighted by daily christian services in morning assemblies at supposedly secular state schools.

However, there is another dimension to this argument. For argument's sake, let us assume that there is a god. So what? For theists the assumption is that there is a god, and that therefore we must worship it by singing hymns, chanting prayers, and wearing fancy dress. Where's the logic behind this? Not only do theists have no evidence for the existence of god, they have absolutely no evidence that god has has ever had any positive or negative effect on them. So why do they feel that they owe god any duty of worship?

The only thing I'd want from god if it existed would be an apology for all the horrors committed in its name.
