The Big Big Thread of Religious Discussion

Who says God wouldn't deliver empty threats?

An empty threat is still a deterrent. If there simply is no punishment, I can think of no way to rationalize an omnipotent being threatening its lowly inventions into obedience.

And now that I've thought about it a tiny bit more, it makes this concept of God that much more horrible. Don't appeal to people by proof or even ask for faith... Just terrorize them into doing what you want. I'm not going to write my next sentence because it would invoke a version of Godwin's law.
