The simple fact that since there is zero evidence that god exists as a being in any sense means that when I read the bible I see him as a character and every living example I have of a character is human. So therefore in order to be honest and consistant I must see his action for what they would be considered if commited by anything else with reason.Sorry to hear you're limited like that. Most people can consider hypotheticals that go beyond their personal experience.
Of course I can, But in this case I am trying to determine is the character god in the bible good as he says or is he evil?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
