Judgement.

[robvalue]

You subjectively pick the judgement of a character in a story book. It's no different to me announcing that everyone should use my judgement, in that regard. The difference is that God will enforce his judgement, and no one can stop him, in your mind. Whether or not it's good judgement is rather moot, if he's just doing it unchecked.

The important thing about a judgement is not who says it, but the reasoning behind it. If you have to employ "because God says so", you've admitted there is no reasoning. The most powerful guy in the room is not necessarily the "good guy". If he's so clever and wise or whatever, he can supply the reasoning to back up his judgements.

Surrendering all judgement to one authority is extremely dangerous. Who regulates this authority? If the authority becomes corrupt, or always has been, what happens?

Back in reality, you can preach about the judgement of your imaginary friend all you like, and it makes no difference to us. If he wants to punish me after my death for not kissing his ass or following his rules just because they are his rules, then fuck him.

I've noticed a lot of theists are incredibly uncomfortable with the idea that anything could be a matter of opinion. Everything must be set in stone by an authority, so that there can be no debate. I guess it's like a longing for a parental figure, in adult life, so that you don't have to think for yourself.

PS: If you evaluate the judgement of God and decide that it is good, you're admitting you have your own system of judgement, external to God.

If you don't evaluate it, and just accept it "because it's God", you're a mindless drone.
