Sure, I follow the laws, but I also disagree with some of them, and I can indeed see a point where, if society took up god's morality (say, to the point of feeding those who dare mock his prophets to bears) that I would take a stand and disobey the immoral ones.You've missed the point of my illustration. If you do not currently involve yourself in and advertise death penality level crimes, you would have fallen into a reality where your soceity has adopted the 'morality' of a verfiable God.
Quote:But that's beside the point anyway. The existence of your god does not require worship or rebellion be the only options anyway.God says it does. Either one worships God or one is in rebellion. This is illustrated by Christ over and over in his teachings "Wheat/Weeds, Wheat/Chaff, Sheep/Goats" One is either accepted by God or he is not.
Quote: I simply refuse to live on bended knee toward a tyrant: your god might prove himself extant tomorrow, and it wouldn't change my actions at all, because I'm focused on being a good person for my own reasons, not his, and not society's. Undeniable proof of god would merely give one food for thought, not alter free will: even the faithful can't agree on what counts as god's will, after all.Your missing the big picture. This Very thing has happened in two periods of History already. (in two completely different cultures in two different time frames.) The results were the same both times.. How is it you believe despite actual evidence in the Historical record that you know things would work differently?

Because I can accept that all of this did happen while I was asleep, I know it to be a dream. one unlike I had ever had before or since, but still a dream. (As witnessed by my cold wet bed.) Meaning I was not transported anywhere. I know I never left the room.
You pissed your pants because of a nightmare. That's not divine intervention.
I keep saying sweat, (as everything was wet; Hair, cloths, sheets were completely soaked through) but truth be known it might have been alittle of both. I say If their was a time where one gets a pass to pee his pants it would be ok if one were sent to Hell.
