The ethics of worship

[The Grand Nudger]

There's alot of stuff the bible doesn't mention, like basic biology, for example...while it does take time to include the colored sticks theory of livestock genetics.

Obviously, what magic book does and does not contain has no relevance to what was or was not.

I say that, but here we are having a conversation about this silly flood again....so.....

Here's what I think is interesting.  What's the problem with god killing kids?  Ostensibly, if god killed kids, being god, it would be a good kill.  No?

i have no problem with god killing women or children as we in this country do it to our own adversaries. the issue i have is you people are taking a narrative from the bible adding your own personal bits to the bible narrative and then charging god for the bits you added!!!

There you go, lead with that.

All of that hilarious lord of the rings bullshit about a baby-less earth before wasn't just silly..it had no use to you whatsoever.

You don't have a problem with baby killing.  Some of us do.  I'd go out on a limb and say that most people have a problem with that. Can you see how, for a person who has a problem with baby killing, you and your god are a non-starter?

only hypocrites or evil people do have a problem killing evil women and children https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzNTzOP5trM&t=22s you can't tell me you have a problem with this.. that this woman and child needed to be killed. that they were evil and wanted to rain an evil act down on the soldiers... if one man can determine the immediate future act of a woman and child and can kill them and it be a good thing... why cant an all knowing god order the destruction of a whole race of people if it meant they would destroy the world?

You could argue that your god existed until you were blue in the face, and you could get it right, and it would still be a babykiller, and you would still be a person who doesn't have a problem with babykilling. Is this some of that strong christian morality I always hear about? Did christianity do this to you? I'm absolutely certain that a person like you could be ordered by a god like yours to exterminate an entire race of people. I'm entirely certain that a god like yours would think it was good and that you, likewise, would be convinced that you were doing a good thing as you exterminated them. You don't have to argue that it's possible, it's happened, more than once.

No one ever needs to be killed, Drich. Killing is an expedient that limited creatures like human beings resort to in order to solve their immediate dilemmas. Your idea that only hypocrites or evil people have a problem killing evil women and children isn't just false, it's a complete inversion of any sensible moral position. You, have an immorality system - not a moral system. One where you search out any excuse or justification for the expediency of evil, however incredulous, and bargle that shit out like the morning call at a goddamned concentration camp.

Next you'll tell us all about how My Lai was a heroic act by holy american forces fully within the remit of Gods Good™ Grace.
