"Don't speak to me about your religion;
first show it to me in how you treat other people. 
Don't tell me how much you love your God;
show me in how much you love all God's children. 
Don't preach to me your passion for your faith;
teach me through your compassion for your neighbors. 
In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have  to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give."
Cary Booker

Ok, you asked for it.

Why would I believe that you're at all qualified to answer any question I may have concerning the Bible and the God it portrays?

Welcome to the board.  But I don't have any misconceptions concerning the god of the bible.  But, apparently, you do.

As I point out in my sig, 1thess 5:21 Question all things and hold on to what is good. This does not mean just to question the questionable but also question the foundational.

If you seek the truth I am just but another avenue to look down for it. All I ask is you give me the time to ask an honest question and see if I can't give you an answer that changes something. If you do not seek the truth there is nothing I can say that will be good enough.

If you like I can help you with your little paradox... The fact that you see a paradox in what Epicurus wrote is a misconception of the very nature of God.

Again because you want to know the truth..

The truth is not everyone can worship God as they are literal slaves to their sin. They belong to someone else. therefore for them they will have no interest in worshiping God.

For those who belong to God and not sin... This is reason enough to worship God.

Just because my answer does not fit your preconceived outline as to how a cookie cutter Christian should answer, doesn't mean the answer I gave is not truthful.

Actually, the problem is you fit EXACTLY the cookie cutter outline for how Christians respond to questions.

God is worthy of worship because he's God? Well, I say I'm worthy of all of the money in your bank account because I'm Blackleaf. Cash or checks only, please.

I don't see a paradox.  What you want to peddle here is 'Truth', which does not exist.  And you think you know the nature of god.  And you probably do know the nature of 'your' god, since god(s) are different for everybody who believes in them.  But there really is no nature of god, since god is a fiction.  So, I might as well try selling the nature of Bugs Bunny to you.  Both god and Bugs Bunny are fictions.  Its just that the those who believe in Bugs Bunny are less destructive than those who believe in the nature of their god(s).

But sure, point out the error of my thoughts and bring me unto the light.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

Come in. Come in.

Lead these angry atheists to the light.  Perhaps you can succeed where others have failed, but you will need a new gimmick if you want to save these festering souls.  We've seen the shtick many times, and remain unimpressed.  Oh wait.  You aren't doing this for us.  You are just doing it so you can tell your friends you have walked among the thieves and liars like a lamb in the den of lions.  And yet your faith remains strong and everlasting.  Tell your friends how you resisted the will of the fornicators as they tried to destroy your faith.

Or you can save some time.  If you leave right now, we will give you a note telling your friends that we were all impressed with your knowledge of God, and cowered under his might.  As an extra incentive, we also issue valuable coupons that you can trade for extra points when you arrive at the gates of Heaven, but only if you act quickly.  This is a one time offer.

Okay, but if you were well-versed in the bible, then asking you would be more time-efficient than asking someone who is not well-versed. If you are mistaken, or if you lie, then that is destructive to the purpose of seeking truth, and if you don't know and honestly answer that you don't know, then we have gained nothing at the cost of some time.

So, again, are you qualified to answer? Be honest, and direct. You'll get much better treatment if you are. We don't like slippery little toads, so don't be one.
