Seems a bizarre thing to do.There's actually a comprehensive answer to this question but the backbone is this; God has clarified what He intends, and what He doesn't through the use of revelation. So in the end, we know for a fact what God actually wants.
Now, here's a question; Islamic law only applies to Muslims, God doesn't intend Christians to abstain from alcohol or Atheists to refrain from pork etc. So why would God "reveal" codified laws only to those who believe, what about disbelievers? Here's where the innate morality comes into play. God has essentially allowed all humans to start off with a "level playing field" if you like, which is subconscious morality. As for those who believe in Him, then they have an extra criterion, which is Divine legislation.
It's funny how you know so much about the workings of god, where did you find all this level playing field stuff out? I'm certain you didn't just guess this from your own mind, because you have a high reputation of posting such logical comments on here.
I'm assuming you can prove that everyone is born with morality in equal amounts, and that you can show your working outs and measurements of morality.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
