How is Yahweh not immoral?

RE: How is Yahweh not immoral?
(November 21, 2012 at 5:34 pm)John V Wrote: Then it should be easy to give a concise response in the thread we're actually in at the moment. We could probably point to dozens of threads which charge that God is immoral.

Refer to the title of my thread for my concise answer.

Quote:Which question is that?

Darkstar Wrote:How is it that the god of the bible (Yahweh) is called a moral being?"

You answered why some do and some do not, which evades the point of the question. Evasion is a tactic I notice you using frequently when cornered.

Quote:You posted red herrings after those points. That's not addressing them.

You are rationalizing terrible things, which is what I am addressing.

Quote:Not our standards, your standards.

I am sorry, it was incorrect to imply that I include 'you' in 'our' standards. Your standards, as a Christian, consider rape, torture, slavery and genocide to be good and desirable acts.

Quote:Equating thoughts with deeds is a higher standard than most humans hold.

God does not do this at all. He would not slaughter the innocent, the infants and children, with the 'guilty' if he held to that standard. The only way to reconcile this is if God believes that the infants he massacred were, thanks to their undeveloped minds, guilty of insufficient worship and thus deserving of slaughter.

If God is not the indiscriminate killer he appears to be, then the truth is even worse: he is targeting the helpless and innocent on purpose. Of course, this is definitely true.

Quote:Yes, as previously noted, Christians tend to accept that God has rights which humans don't, and critics tend to reject that. I would just suggest that such rejection is ad hoc, considering humans' treatment of each other and other species.

I would suggest not. God is more powerful than humanity, therefore he should be more responsible than we are. He should perform beyond the best of our standards, be more moral than any human. Instead, he's just a capricious maniac, beneath the worst of humanity's monsters.
