God does not follow the first principle of morality. Why not?
#18
RE: God does not follow the first principle of morality. Why not?



I wouldn't know because I do not actually blame God.

A being of perfect good should, by that very definition, never appear to be of lesser morality when his behavior is compared to inferior morals. A perfect being of good cannot have flaws, cannot in any way behave in a way any imagination or opinion could consider 'evil'.




God is notoriously inconsistent in how he views the act of lethal violence among his pet humans.




According to you, God gave me free will specifically so I would choose either to submit or not to submit. What motivates me to choose one or the other?




And yet you oppose gay marriage and abortion and attempt to force God's Will on people who clearly do not wish to spend eternity with him, so obviously you do not adhere to your own beliefs in practice.




I'm supposed to apologize to God because he made me inferior to himself?

That's goofy.




God's Will is only for those who wish to spend eternity with Him.




This is the kernel of my point.

If God defines what 'Good' is, then any action I take which mirrors an act of God (in terms of intent; obviously not in magnitude of the deed) must also be Good.

So, if I murder blasphemers, this is good. God has done this. It cannot be evil.

If I make a woman into a rape-slave, this is good. God has commanded men to do this. It cannot be evil.

If I massacre firstborn children because the guy who ruled over them pissed me off, this is good. God has done this. It cannot be evil.

If I inflict psychological torture on a man in order to get him to slaughter his son, whether or not he goes through with it in the end, this is good. God has done this. It cannot be evil.

I could go all day.
