Those who wholeheartedly believe god is a just being are also the same types that corporations prefer to hire because they will not question the horrible ethics of what may be going on in the company. Religious people are easier to mold, because they believe the actions of the authority are always just, no matter how heinous the acts perpetrated by the authority. It is impossible to reason with such individuals, because they are unable to see the evil no matter if bites their hand off. After all, if the hand gets bitten off, it was done by a just authority that knows best. Religious people are in essence nothing more than perfect robots.
Where is your proof that religious people are easier to mold than non-religious people?
You simply do not understand how this works; God is the ultimate standard of justice, that’s an ontological truth. Therefore, it is logically impossible to say anything He does is unjust because that would be appealing to a standard outside of God. It’s obvious that on a whole religious people are simply more logically sophisticated than you are because they understand how ultimate standards function. A corporation is not a standard of justice at all, so I can object to what they do. What’s your ultimate standard of justice?
