Practical? Is it more practical to embrace and love a god that threatens "endless torment" if you don't obey. Or is it more practical to believe the God is a loving Heavenly Father that has allowed His creation to experience the horrible consequences of sin and evil, so that the creation can be redeemed with understanding from what it has been redeemed. Only then can man truly love and worship his Creator.
Have you seen the videos of those that "obey" Saddam, bowing and kissing his hands and hoping like crazy the he doesn't pull his pistol and shoot them on the spot. Reminds me of how some Christians "worship" God. Those pictures are the saddest examples of humanity I have ever seen, so degraded and disrespected, broken. As soon as they were out of Saddam's sight do you think they really loved or worshiped him? I assure you they have the hottest hatred imaginable for him, as displayed when he was hanged.
