Wait, didn't god invent logic? If so, how is he constrained by it?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

God is confined by logic. This does not limit his omnipotence. But according to the bible rape isn't always wrong, in fact its endorsed. And the bible is the word of god isn't it? Therefore god says rape is ok and so.... he is immoral. Omnipotence means: all powerful. The fact that God can be confined in any way proves that he is not all powerful. This seems especially ironic considering he is confined by the very reality he created. You've got a choice here: either God is immoral or he is not all powerful. Choose one.

I mean it must be morally right, yea? If God told you to do it.

You mistake the bible as gods dictates and not what it is, a record of Gods influence. Some laws we're cultural and need to be understood in context. In 2000 years plus people may look at some things we think perfectly acceptable and think them equally horrific. Would we be evil people or products of our surroundings?

Also, like Rayaan said, Christians too think that God is just. He only is perfectly moral. He's made up. (June 4, 2013 at 10:20 am)Godschild Wrote: If you decide to operate in the real world, 
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
