Did we learn Imperialism from God ?

To begin with I'm agnostic, I believe that we have to do whatever it takes to do and I don't like asking for favors. But for a while let us assume God does exist, let us assume everything is his creation and he made humans in his own image, here are a few facts based on that belief that I know:

1. God created angels, creatures who follow god unquestioningly.
2. God created earth, put water, plants, animals etc etc.
3. God created Humans and asked angels to look after humans and love them more than god himself.
4. One angel refuses and asks god to let humans think on their own, he says he can't love anyone other than god - He is lucifer.
5. God doesn't like questions, so lucifer is thrown out of heaven forever.
6. Humans defy god and eat the apple of wisdom.
7. God is pissed off and decides that whoever follows him blindly, no questions asked would go to heaven, a place where afterlife would be peaceful, rest would regret their decisions.
8. Any angel or humans who question God are sent to hell.

Doesn't this sound imperialistic rule ?? Follow what I say, or go to hell. Period

Some might say we would have lived happily and more peacefully if everyone indeed followed god blindly, but again should deciding 'what is right and what is wrong' be based on one single persons judgement? Afterall God isn't believed to be perfect either.


Different religions have different stories but somehow all of them end up saying the same, Hinduism has lord Yama, god of death. We never read him going to heaven or meeting any other gods like the rest. He is confined to hell. The abridged version of Quran I read few years back says the same, follow Prophet Muhammed's Quran blindly if you are to be chosen by Allah (ofcourse some extremists interpret things in a different way, but thats a whole different story).

If I have to make a choice between the path chosen by god or my own path, I'd take my own anyday, as long as I'm true to my conscience and logic.
