We should. But what if what God thought was the right thing goes contrary to what men think the right thing is?johnson1010 wrote: If god were a reality, should we be comforted that whatever it fancies is The Right Thing?
If the populations were truly innocent, then God would be considered corrupt.How is this god absolute when it says "No killing" then commands the slaughter of whole populations, down to their animals?
Maybe in your opinion. But not very many people would think that.Absolute measure?
That isn't the word i would use.
Inconsistant, fickle, childish, depraved, petty... those fit better.
But then, the question one should ask is "are we right then?"and besides, this is basically a "might makes right" argument. Just because god would have the power to inflict his will on us doesn't mean he's right
If God's not right, are we? We are people who only know 0.01 to the power of infinity of God's knowledge and yet we act like we know what is truly right and what is truly wrong?
I could say that even for Atheism there is a strange, forceful tendency as if Atheists almost demand people of religion to believe their Atheism. They may say they do not care about it, but the way they speak and their actions against religion, specifically Christianity, tell otherwise.or that our opinions on how we should be left to live in peace and cooperation is nothing compared to his opinion that we should live our lives in abject prostration, and murder those who don't oblige.
Just my two cents.
