    I mean, in a world with a god like that, the only rational course of action would be to do what they say. The concept of truly infinite suffering makes that the only rational choice.

    That’s why piety is a virtue for Christians, first and foremost. Being a “good person” by their metrics is a byproduct of obeying god since god determines what is good.
