God's Standard will never line up with what you have changed to suit the sins you are willing to live with. Leaving you with a problem Because of the gulf between your personal righteousness and God's one must be 'judged' as inferior to another. As you Have created a standard to become superior to God then it is not likly that you will or ever can see yourself as being les than Good. Which makes God the immoral one, each and every time.
It does not matter how often human morals change, or to what they change. A perfectly good and moral being should, by any possible definition, always set a standard man cannot possibly even conceive of as flawed or inferior, the way I cannot possibly conceive of an infinitely large object because if I can identify it as being an object, it is only because it has limits and I can perceive them.

If only one option exists, then it is a farce to define it as a 'choice'.
Quote:Again you have confused morality with God's law/Expressed Will. For I am trying (when I vote) to force my 'morality or my self righteousness onto you.
Why would God's will and/or law conflict with his own morals?
Quote:God's Will can Never be acheaved that is why Christ died.
Sounds like what we in the 21st century call a design flaw.
Quote:You are simply supposed Seek God out. You have confused yourself with another religion.
According to the post I previously quoted, it is not a matter of simply seeking God. I am supposed to, in your words, "seek attonement for being outside of God's Righteousness". 'Atonement' implies that I did something wrong and I seek forgiveness for it. In this example, the thing I did 'wrong' was... what? Be precisely what the all-powerful Creator Of All Things made me to be?
I'm sorry I'm not more perfect, but if he is all-everything, the only reason I'm not is because he deliberately made me to be flawed.
Quote: The thing is with a mirror is always reflects absolutly everything a person does in front of it. Can you honestly say that you can do this? Can you truly mirror what God has done?
I mean, I could murder kids on a whim or dominate rape slaves, but since I have not done these things I must answer in the negative.
I am certain that if I possessed the abilities attributed to God, humanity would be much better off than they are under God's alleged fatherhood.
[quote]If so (not a judgement) Then if God does seperates you from the rest of creation and banishes you to the void then simply say "let their be light" and mirror what God has done from that point on and you will be good.
That probably will never happen, so I can't comment on it. However, I can do my best to emulate God's behavior by committing the acts I spelled out previously.
If God condones murder, genocide, rape and slavery, as he is repeatedly shown to do all over his holy book, these must be good. Otherwise, a paradox exists.
