Seems likea a lot of atheists claim that we are expected to worship God of the Bible just because He created us.
I don't know or understand the purpose of worship besides thanking him for creating you. I really don't.

If you're going to go as far as to hypothetically accept God's existence, then I think it's a poor hypothetical if youre not accepting other truth claims of the Bible.
It is precisely this why I would thing God to be a vile, despicable creature. He's an all powerful, all loving, all merciful and just god, but the only way he can fix things is by
killing everyone. Really? I should worship the god who
creates homosexuals and then sentence them to death upon acting on their God given attraction to the same sex? It's fine that 42 people got killed because they made fun of a guys balding head?
It's precisely the other truth claims of the Bible that are the reason that I would despise the god of the Bible.

Namely, that God does much more than simply create us; He is the living, active God.
That sentence literally means nothing. ex: John did more than do his homework, John is the living and active John.
