God's will.....who needs it?

[Rhizomorph13]

1. If moral terms are relative, then your interpretation of God's character is relative. Ergo, God is not morally reprehensible; rather, he merely offends your feelings. If moral terms are relative, then they are biographical, in which case your position says something about you and nothing about God.

2. It makes the survivor 'special' if being selected to survive death is better than being selected to die.

With your permission, I'd like to add that to my sig.

Arcanus,

Feel free to sig me. And to answer your points:

1. Actually my view of God is that he is imaginary, a thing we created to help us interpret the sometimes hallucinatory nature of our perception. It is a real whopper of a re-frame job. I never said I was offended. The father reacted as I might if one of my relatives lived through some horrible event only I would avoid all the pap about "will" and "God". I would, of course, be seen as an ungrateful bastard by some, but oh well.

2. Random events are random.
