Personally, I don't think it's moral to kill, burn, destroy one's livelihood, etc. regardless of how much they don't believe in me as a deity. If God is vengeful and wishes for me to suffer because I failed to believe in him, and only bases his actions on my belief in him and not on my actions, I do not wish to worship that God. -- Jessie A.
