That's a big fucking "if."
Yep, and not only a "big if", a "big if" based no the naked assertion he exists even before you get to that old bronze age book that took fallible humans over 1,000 years to complete, with books left out, full of contradictions and scientifically absurd claims.
If someone wants to pin their hopes on that "big if", they can. I think they could do better considering humans didn't know any better back then when they wrote them and others bought the claims in that book.
And as I said before, to follow commands blindly, or simply accept "I said so", isn't morality, it is simply following.
I am sure Kim Jong Un will treat you well if you tow the party line.
"I now what I am doing"
"I have a plan"
"I have final say"
"I don't have to explain myself to you"
"It is your fault even though I have the power to set things up"
"If you don't understand that is your fault".
Are cop out dodges, to avoid criticism of the flawed logic. They are excuses to accept following, not explanations.
It is basically needlessly inflicted gap filling out of a desire to have a parent protect a baby.
