Which is scarier, another god, or the followers of another god?

Two categories for this question:

A. The god that wants everyone to worship it in a specific way and tells its followers to make sure that happens.

B. The god that wants it's followers to worship in a certain way, but doesn't want it's followers to care about how or whether or not anyone else worships.

Update:

For argument's sake, let's assume that the other god is a god that you don't believe in, but it's followers believe in it fiercely.

Update 2:

Let's also assume that there are enough followers of the other god to cause a Spanish Inquisition-like situation if the followers were so inclined to do so.

    A god is nothing without the faithful. It is the followers that carry out the acts, the burnings, and the inqusitions. The followers give power to empty words. Gods do not act, only people do.

    ~~~ Heart ,,,, From the atheistic perspective the answer is most obvious,,, that ALL gods are synthetic and are only given the powers they possess by their inventors,,, therefore the answer is The Followers,,, or to use the Historical Models it would be The Clergy. ~ Namaste`

    I always get a smile and laugh out of the bumper sticker: God please save me from your followers.

    The only reason I don't own one myself is because I don't believe in God, but you get the point.

    Only real things can hurt you... so, I'm going with followers on this one.

    i say both

    they both are pretty dominant in what they want

    which is not always a good thing

    everyone should follow their own beliefs and not be so in fear that they are brainwashed to one thing and one thing only.

    Source(s): i like your ankh default btw :]

    The followers are scarier...mainly because they are very real.
