So is the motivation wanting to worship God because you love him or because you want to use him as an insurance policy just in case there is a hell?

Sorry, but I'm not gonna go ahead and believe something that doesn't make sense just because a book says so. I've constantly been questioned about my beliefs by people because of the fact that I'm not ignorant, and I feel it's important to fully grasp a concept instead of blindly following it. Just because I question certain things doesn't mean I'm trying to shit on it, I wanna get a better understanding. Oranized religion tends to shun on this though. In order for there to be faith, there has to be some truth to it as well.

The problem is that it is impossible to fully understand the concept of God making a lot of your questions redundent. That's not saying you shouldn't question certain concepts people hold as truth, but you seem a little exasperated when these questions can't be answered by people.

I agree with you about the concept of God being impossible to fully understand, however, we were given some insight on the concept of God through the Bible or whatever book you subscribe to (I'll refer to the Bible since it's what I know best). The Bible proclaims God as The Creator, no "ifs", "ands", or "buts" about it. So basically we can assume that he is the creator of ALL things, there's no disputing that.

Now, when I ask someone that if God is The Creator, does that mean he created sin, I get one of 3 responses:

1) How dare you say that!!!
2) You have to have faith
3) Of course not

When I get answer number 3, the person usually goes off into a tangent on purpose. Of course it's obvious that nobody really knows the answer to this, but the fact that the question I posed led to either someone lying to me or completely denying the validity of the question because it questioned their faith was interesting.

He gave us the choice of going by what he wants (the "good" thing), or to do what he doesn't want (sin). So yes, he did create sin. But when you look at sin, you can't just look at it as being wrong or right. Sin is just what God does not want us to do, and what He deemed incorrect (after all, He would know, he IS God). He gave us the free will to choose what we want to do. He created everything including sin, and gave us the choice of which one which one to fallow.

So far I actually think you've made the most sense in this entire thread.

Narrator:
Allah did not create sin.  Yakub, on the other hand, created the white devil, the human incarnation of sin.

Narrator:
Wow, my Karma dropped -4 in the last half hour for that post above.
