How can you be so sure the gods you pray to and worship care about you?

How can you know if they feel for your frailty? Your worship may just be supper.

If a god or big giant alien/holy temple thing tells you to kill yourself it’s a 100% chance they don’t care about you

Good thing it's only salty gamers on the internet telling me to kill myself.

Though suicide is something I am vehemently against. The only upside to something like this happening is a lot less idiots in the world, though the clean up would be annoying.

If the Rapture was real (and it was all believers) it would ironically become heaven on earth

Or what if it's giant ants, like that Stephen King book which made me feel uncomfortable.

Yeah I mean if anything some kind of holy deity should be able to just have some kind of rapture event like in revelation where you don't have to actually kill yourself and are just magically called to divinity

Historically a lot of gods in many cultures just… don’t actually care. The Greek ones are particular famous for being callous to all their followers

Sacrifice, killing, worship, etc we’re moreso a means to appease the gods if possible for good harvest or whatever

The concept of a god that loves their followers is an exception to the rule

Understandable as gods were often the explanation for destructive forces of nature.

You should see the Christian God. This guy created an entire plane of existence just to torture people he doesn't like. Greek gods wish they had that mafucka's ruthlessness.

This is more a later interpretation of hell. Judaism didnt really have the idea, it was just the assumed misery of being dead and hated.

People are always saying the Abrahamic god loves each and every one of us. But actions speak louder than words.
