A simple question for theists

[Jackie]

Here's the thing sport.

God told us not to follow any new or direct revelations if the contradict how we are told to live in the bible.

If God told one of us to kill someone period apart from what the rule of law is willing t support, then what that person is talking to is not God.

The god of the bible orders death and commits murder personally on a fairly regular basis. So it is established that god has ordered death in the bible. If you would not commit a murder ordered by god because of your morality you are admitting two things, firstly that god is not the arbiter of morality and second that your morality is superior to gods.

There is a evolutionary psychology to why religion has popped up in all it's forms in our species history. When we group, and even when we surround ourselves centered around completely false claims, that placebo does create safety in numbers. That flawed perception can lead to control over resources. So when humans make up god claims, it is really a reflection of their own desire to have control over their environments. Other species have to kill to survive, and even kill for territory. While the big three monotheism of Abraham are seen by many as being the same violent God/Allah/Yahweh, the motif of a war deity out for conquest exists even in polytheism's history. Polytheism however, is more reflective, all be it just as false, more reflective of our diverse attributes as a species. But it is horrifying to me that the God of those three are seen as mighty justice in an authoritarian God far too widely,  and do not reflect as much as the followers would have one believe, the empathetic side of our species.

Humans in groups unfortunately often in our species turn to the biggest strongest male to protect that group. That is why most god/s in our species history are dominated by male depictions, even in polytheism. Our species has a ways to go to understand globally that females are equally important and half our world's population. 

Our real morality is in our evolution. I said it before, we can see the same acts of empathy in other species. If you raise a kitten and puppy at the same time, on average, they will act like family and protect each other. Our species problem is that we stupidly think we are a superior species when the reality is we are merely one of many. We are good at being humans, but we'd suck at being penguins. We are good at being humans, but we'd suck at being bumble bees. 

We also treat this planet as something to be dominated and tamed. We live on it, but we cannot tame it. We can only manage it to reduce any harm a natural disaster might produce. Our species is far too narcissistic still. We far too often think short term and as time moves on, the next generation will pay even more dearly for our focus on antiquated tribalism.
