Godschild Wrote:Mortimer defines God's will and nature as the same thing, yet you separate them as if they are different.God's nature can be found in the Bible, which I didn't really want to bring up formally because it's just a moral ethics unit.
Talking about the general idea of a god's will is much easier to interact with and more appropriate to the unit. But yeah.. I know what you mean.

One cannot divorce the idea of god who insists upon his subjects submitting to his will from the idea of a god who has revealed what his will is. Monotheism as we know it is the supposed revealing of god's will to his people. So reject religion and you reject essentially divine command theory. God's will must be made manifest otherwise it is abstract and based on human reason. The type of god who would demand submission is also not the kind of god who would not reveal his will.Yeah I know it's kinda messed up and almost pointless to discuss with any real depth if you don't bring in religion. I can't do anything about it though :/
Thanks for the feedback!
