But even then, the logic is lost as soon as you paint such a head character as perfect and never harming anything ever.
It is understandable that humans study raccoons for rabies and long ago rabbits for pregnancy, but it makes no sense after all this time that an alleged God would say he wants us all to get along but either allows us to suffer, smites those he hates, but still lets his followers, his most strident fans suffer.
When I say "the only way I can believe" it is strictly metaphor. The logic is not there morally for either a specific club god name or a cosmic lab mad scientist.
It remains in reality that there is no super hero helping anyone, and the only ones to help humans, AND THE PLANET, are other humans.
You may well be a good person but you have a problem Brian.
You are very very naive.
I already pointed out all this to you in a previous post in which you think that people should have a neutral view when answer your questions.
Now you show once again your naivety and gullibility by pretending that a father is wrong when punishing his children when they do something wrong.
Not only that but you also declare without any evidence that God smite those he hates.
Control your fantasy son because it can take you the wrong way.
Your words, posted above, "God would say he wants us all to get along but either allows us to suffer, smites those he hates, but still lets his followers, his most strident fans suffer. "
That's sick.
Ok, so if you had say 3 kids 4 and 5 and 6 years old, and let one starve to death, let one get raped by a child molester, and only protected one, but all of them were loyal to you and obey'd you, you would be a selective deadbeat?
Smites those he hates?
That is sick too.
Lets say one of those kids or two of those kids do not obey you, that would make it ok to let them starve to death, get raped, or deny them medical care?
In real life if you allow your kids to suffer, in the sane world, those parents get the kids taken away and or arrested. And while some authoritarian parents think it is ok to beat the shit out of their kids, or "smite" them for not obeying, more and more of society is not finding that acceptable.
So if humans are supposed to be more like God, since I hate Trump, does that mean I can beat the shit out of his supporters?
The only way your quote works is if humans are merely his property. I woke up, I don't see humans, much less children as property to either "allow to suffer" or "beat the shit out of" when they do something I don't like.
If that is your idea of morality, you should re consider. But don't try to peddle that to me.
