We routinely kill other beings merely because they're tasty or a minor annoyance. We conveniently draw the "immoral" line at ourselves, and some animals like dogs and cats that amuse us.

There are things that we do to each other that are normally considered evil, but we give ourselves exemption when we do those things to beings which we consider lesser than ourselves. Since we're lesser beings than God, it's not "special" to say that God can therefore do as he wants with us.

So he's no more enlightened than we are?

His motives are righteous judgment. Ours are tasty meat and getting rid of petty annoyances. So, yes, he's more enlightened than we are.

Show what you mean.

I did, with the example that followed. Humans claim rights over lesser beings, but cry foul when a greater being claims rights over themselves.

Quote:God can cure and make the lesser equal if he chooses to do so.

And he will do so with the saved. If you don't want in on it, that's your choice.
