If god were real, how would you expect him to act? What would you expect him to do?
Here is what I posted in the other thread:
I expect nothing less from your god than your god expects from me.
God commands "Thou shall not kill" and then turns around and orders genocide. He says "Love thy neighbor as thyself" and then condones slavery and the selling of daughters. He does shitty things to good people and still expects to be worshipped and praised.
Until your god starts walking the walk and not being a "Do as I say, not as I do" kind of god, he can fuck off. He is certainly not worthy of worship or praise of any kind, even if he wasn't a fairy tale.
So what are your thoughts?
I think you are just like them. Its all about you.
Why can't god be god?
maybe he can't help every single person?
maybe, people have to die?
Just like blood cells in you. You can't help them, but you can, to the best of your ability.
I think, and I agree with you, that we reject their type of god.
I am ok with the ten commandments actually. It aint about me, it is about us. That's what I get out of them. They are as good a set of rules as any other.
