Drich Wrote:God is justified in anything He does simply because He does not answer to anyone else.God does not need to follow some standard in order to be found Righteous. Righteousness is the standard derived from the Expressed Will of God. As such He has demanded one to Humble himself before the living God. As it is, you serve the soceity and it's line of logic and reason. Which is in direct conflict with what God has commanded all of us to do. So the question becomes: Do you serve yourself and your soceity by following the rule and reason of soceity? or do you openly choose to serve the Living God? If you choose to serve yourself or your soceity over the Living God, then your master in effect becomes another god. If you serve and choose to worship this other god, you will be condemned. No matter what reason you tell yourself.
Yeah, I'm afraid "might makes right" isn't a very convincing answer. Such a "god" is unworthy of the title.
Also, you seem to have created a false dichotomy that anyone that doesn't serve your god simply serves themself. Does telling yourself that all of the non-believers are selfish make you feel better about god sending people to hell?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
