A simple question for theists

RE: A simple question for theists

That is because I failed to obey things that are apparently good to me and help his creation, and disobeyed him in things that harmful to me and his servants, so it would be a false show of obedience to obey him in that one command.

If however I lived in a life of complete submission to him and for long period of time didn't disobey him in small and big deeds, I would obey him in everything he commands me including killing an innocent if I knew for certain he commanded me to do that.

This is the problem with every religion, Mystic, seriously, you have the same problem that Christians and Jews have. It is not your duty to be a hero to our species. It is Not CLs or Roadrunner's duty to be heros either. It is OUR duty as species to be non violent and cooperate to find solutions to help our fellow human. But the bullshit idea of " sacrifice" in religious terms is worship of the club, blood rivalry, not compassion for everyone. It is not your job to "help his creation", it is our species job to stop assuming who started it all and worry about how to cooperate without fighting.

Hero worship is why Muslims and Jews and Christians cant stop murdering each other needlessly.
