Because you can't. God is a piece of garbage morally speaking. He endorses rape, murder, slavery, and genocide. He also impregnated a little girl who wasn't his wife. God can't be bothered to follow the very laws and rules he sets up for everyone else. "Do as I say, not as I do." Yahweh is a hypocrite and a liar. Or at least that's what the writers of the bible have made him out to be.
Quote:I have taken moden standards and compared them to God's morality to show how far 'moden standards' have fallen, and will continue to fall.
By who's standards? We aren't murdering homosexuals anymore just because we feel threatened by their different sexuality. We aren't stoning our young women to death anymore for not being virgins on their wedding night. We aren't murdering everyone in a neighboring town simply because they refuse to pay us tribute. Seems like we've become a far more moral people as we've moved away from what God would deem correct.
Quote:Not only that, but have shown examples of soceities in our past who avail themselves to all sorts of evil simply because they have discarded God's absolute standards for 'modern ones.'
And we can show you cultures that have done great evil in the name of your God and his standards. What's your point? Man seems to have a great capacity for evil regardless of what God he invents to worship.
