But then, i cannot be moral because i don't submit.
They cannot be moral because they have a broken moral compass and cannot therefore accurately know God's moral worth.
I have more 'faith' in human intuition than divine absurdity. I take responsibility for my actions and own them, no divine mafiosa required.
If the difference is as vast as "Complete submission to god" compared to "Maximize human well being and minimize harm", yeah, pretty irreconcilable. Just look at both of those objectively. Is it even possible for the former to have a shred of the amount of ability to promote well-being as the latter? Regardless what god you're worshiping, it still just sounds like a total recipe for disaster.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
