There is an answer no xtian is ever going to give you.
I have heard that one actually, God is the potter and we're the clay and if he doesn't like a particular vase he made he has the right to crush it to powder if he wants. Tres' biblical, btw.

Even with the Nazis Their might made it right to kill jews by the millions, then the western allies 'might' made what the Nazi's were doing wrong again. Might has always made right in every human example. So then what makes you think this is not a hold over or character of God?
My poor brother...you've descended to such moral subjectivity that you're implying God is right for the same reason the Nazis were right, with the main difference being that there isn't anyone more powerful than God to overrule him. I think you should have a talk with your pastor.
Drich Wrote:Anyone who argues might does not make right does not understand history or society. At no point does a weaker culture's values impress themselves on a stronger cultures value if the strong culture does not want them.
Sufficient might lets you impose what you want on other people. Where does the stronger culture get its values from? How do the mighty determine their values and morality? Who imposes it on them? Because 'might makes right' being the basis of morality implies that it always comes from someone mightier, and also that it's arbitrary, the whim of the mighty.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
