A god doesn't need to have control over us, nor do we need to be it's creations, to be a god. The vast majority of gods are not creator gods, and are or were not believed to control human beings, and did commonly have weaknesses.
Quote:"The Creator of Everything" title cannot be earned but through the creation of "everything". That's where I got the belief from.See above.
Quote:A weak God is nothing but an ancient Greek fantasy; a feeder of personal ego of ancient Philosophers. Weakness strips any entity from thee Godly traits.You wouldn't be arguing against greek gods, specifically, in this..and if you allowed for the weakness of god to be demonstrative of it's non-existence, of it's status as a fantasy, it's only going to take one person to come along and opine upon the weakness of allah for you to regret having said it.
Quote:Forcing us to do them is something totally different than giving us the choice.Okay.
Quote:Justice is having both penalty and reward distributed in a rightful way.Perhaps, but I was really hoping to be able to take a more supportive position of god belief, so I'll leave it to you to tell us how all the other believers are wrong.

Butchering grants us meet. Cutting down trees grant us food and heat. Eating too much will make us fat. Butchering humans will make us killers.
There's a scale; and breaking it is well known to cause disasters.
I truly think that many theists need to rethink their beliefs
Quote:No; belief in him means believing he created the scale.Belief in your personal god might mean that, but belief in -a- god does not, nor is it necessary for that to be true of a god for a god to be a god.
Breaking that scale causes so many to die; or worse: tortured; spend their counted days hungry and poor.
