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.

Righteous judgement? He's letting people through or rejecting them based mainly on whether or not they worship them, instead of their actions. You can spend your whole life feeding the poor, tending to the sick and downtrodden, and doing your best to build a better future for the next generation, but if you follow a different religion or just don't believe in religion, you go to hell. You can be a mass murdering narcissist, but if you repent on your deathbed, you get into heaven. That's not righteous.

Yes, our reasons are tasty meat. Because we need meat for a well balanced diet. Not everyone can handle a completely vegan diet. Certainly not young children. Meat is a basic necessity. And while we do think of animals as property, many of us usually cry foul when people abuse or kill animals wantonly.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
